In Lebanon, the “Museum Night” event, revived by the Ministry of Culture, brought a cultural conversation to the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (USEK). The university’s Archeological Museum opened its doors to visitors alongside other prominent museums across the country.
The event, a collaboration between the Archeological Museum and USEK’s Faculty of Music and Performing Arts, drew a distinguished audience, including French Ambassador Hervé Magro, Bulgarian Ambassador Yasin Tomov, and USEK President Father Professor Joseph Moukarzel. A large crowd of art and history enthusiasts also attended the cultural evening.
Attendees were treated to an immersive artistic experience, witnessing a unique and creative dialogue between fine art and live music. Alsy El-Dik, the museum’s director, guided visitors through the exhibits, with a special focus on an exhibition dedicated to pioneering Lebanese women in art. This exhibit showcased the talent, vision, and resilience of female artists who have made a lasting impact on Lebanon’s cultural landscape. Throughout the tour, talented students from the university provided live musical performances, creating a beautiful atmosphere that enhanced the evening.
USEK’s Archeological Museum houses a wide and valuable collection of artifacts. Its collection includes oil paintings, holy icons, and historical clothing and items from the Ottoman era. These pieces tell the rich story of Lebanon’s history and highlight the country’s profound cultural and religious heritage.
