The event will represent an immersive journey through modern and contemporary Arab art history from the 1930s up until the 2010s.

Formed by the late visionary art collector Ramzi Dalloul and his wife, Saeda El-Husseini, and advanced by their son, Basel Dalloul, the collection is located in Beirut.

Their decades of travel throughout the Arab region combined with their deep relationships with artists, have shaped a collection that celebrates Arab artistic diversity and culture.
