Beit Beirut

At the crossroad of Sodeco and Damascus Road, stands Beit Beirut. What was once a sniper stronghold in the midst of Lebanon’s civil war is now an exhibition venue and home to much of Lebanon’s most prized art. The building has undergone many changes to its name, and was originally known as “Barakat Building,” later nicknamed the “Yellow House” because of the color of its sandstones that were brought from Deir el Qamar, and during the war, “The Building of Death.” It was transformed into a museum and became open to the public. Since then, it has hosted various shows and art exhibitions, and even boasts a library.
