Robert Moawad Private Museum
“For what had been carefully constructed over many years has now been transformed, much like the city center itself, into an example of living wonder… The building may have weathered the passages of time, of conquerors, heroes, and war, and though its Italian Gothic style still survives in the ornate facades of the present building, there has been a virtual reconstruction inside and out.”
Quoted from The Robert Mouawad Private Museum Multimedia Presentation
The Robert Mouawad Private Museum Multimedia Presentation aptly sums up Mouawad’s achievement when it states: “By choosing to restore a 110-year-old palace and turn it into a private museum dedicated to works of art and to his own personal collection of jewelry, Robert Mouawad has shown both courage and foresight while remaining true to tradition”.
Located in the heart of Beirut city, The Robert Mouawad Private Museum today (formerly known as the Henri Pharaon Palace) has recently opened its doors to the public. Mouawad’s vision transformed The Pharaon palace into a state-of-the-art museum that is doubly historic, both as a venue and as a host for priceless collections. This is one museum whose grandest exhibit is the edifice itself.
