🎭 Art & Exhibitions in Beirut 2026 | 2026 دليل الفن والمعارض في لبنان
Beirut's art scene is one of the most underrated in the region — and summer 2026 proves it. Sfeir-Semler Gallery has two major shows running through August. The Sursock Museum is open all summer. Metropolis Cinema runs screenings almost every evening. From gallery openings in Achrafieh to film festivals in Mar Mikhael, this is everything cultural happening in Lebanon from June through September 2026.
بيروت مدينة لم تتوقف يوماً عن الخلق والإبداع. حتى في أصعب السنوات — وقد عشنا الكثير منها — بقيت المعارض مفتوحة، واستمر الفنانون في العمل، ولم تتوقف شاشات سينما متروبوليس عن الدوران. الفن في لبنان ليس ترفاً. هو الطريقة التي نعالج بها كل ما مررنا به.
وصيف 2026 ليس استثناءً. غاليري سفير سيملر يستضيف معرضين كبيرين مستمرَّين حتى أغسطس. متحف سرسق مفتوح طوال الصيف مع معرض دائم يروي تاريخ الفن اللبناني عبر الأجيال. آرت ديستريكت بيروت يجدد معارضه كل أسابيع قليلة. وسينما متروبوليس تعرض أفلاماً تقريباً كل مساء في فضائها الجديد في مار مخايل — بما فيها عروض في الهواء الطلق في الحديقة.
من افتتاحيات المعارض في الأشرفية إلى مهرجانات السينما في جبيل — هذا دليلك الكامل لكل ما هو ثقافي في لبنان من يونيو حتى سبتمبر 2026. يُحدَّث فور افتتاح كل معرض جديد.
