Two paintings of shipwrecks sit side by side – marking significant historical disasters just off Lebanon’s coast that most people have forgotten.
Seeking to end 2020 on a more positive note, Dar El-Nimer is offering their first full exhibition of the year, “Cabinet of Curiosities: Ultimate Un-necessities,” which blends nostalgia, wonder and an inquisitive spirit.
Gathering 250 items from around the world – mostly from the personal collection of Dar founder Rami El-Nimer – the show’s exhibits range from the macabre to the marvelous with objects dating from the 1700s to present day.
