The Sursock museum was built in 1912, and used to belong to Nicolas Ibrahim Sursock who lived there.
The palace was lately turned into a museum and currently displaying works of art about the environment and importance of recycling. The exhibition is truly creative and spectacular to see. My favorite was"Waste"by Marwan Rechmaoui about recycling. It's about four cubes made of plastic, tires, carton and aluminum. All made of recycled materials. He really turned garbage into art. Visiting this museum made me realize that we are polluting our environment and damaging it, while we can recycle our garbage and turn it into an opportunity.
I hope that the majority of the Lebanese people will have the chance to visit this museum and benefit from it.
