Dear Friends,

In these complex days, and with hope for better and quieter times, we are pleased to share that the Museum is currently undergoing a process of renovation and adaptation of its building to meet museum standards, in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture and Sport. Upon completion of the works in the coming months, you will discover a renewed, professional, and welcoming space, reflecting the significant transition from gallery to museum.

Alongside the renovation works, the Museum continues to operate: producing new exhibitions, working with artists, welcoming groups and school students, and gradually bringing life back into the exhibition spaces after the recent period of war and the forced closure.

In order to give the exhibitions the attention and presence they deserve, the Pais Incubator for Art, curated by Galia Bar Or and Hanin Abed, will remain on view. In addition, two new exhibitions by the outstanding artists Rabab Sa’abneh and Nahed Abu Alheja Hamza have opened. A festive event will take place on June 20, together with a gallery talk with the artists and curators of the Incubator.

I send you all my warmest greetings and a heartfelt embrace in these very difficult days, with hope and prayer for better times.

Said Abu Shakra
