Mudam Museum of Modern Art

Great museum for contemporary and modern art. The museum had great exhibitions when we visited in December 2024. The building is a nice Pei architecture. It is only a short tram away from the city center. There is a lovely Lebanese inspired lunch and café space, but be sure to make a reservation for lunch on busy days.

This is such a beautiful building, architecturally. It is photogenic, good at any angle. Mind boggling that it sits on a fort and this can be seen when walking outside the museum to explore the outside areas. We went when the exhibits were changing, we still got to see a few of artworks. Even if there were no artworks to be viewed, the building itself is worth a visit! The cafe has so much light coming through the ceiling, the little covered area made of fiber for its roof is fun. Befitting for a beautiful museums like this.

Great peaceful space for art by I.M. Pei with a lot of his signature details. Joined the architecture tour (English) and discovered a lot more about how lighting, materials and nature works inside. Lovely walkway around the building as well, and well connected with tram line.

I highly recommend a visit! A particular highlight was the charming cafe within the museum itself. It boasts an inviting atmosphere with interesting books and a delicious menu. There is great vibe inside the coffee place, good service 🫶🏼✨

Alright so the museum building, light and position is absolutely amazing, but the exhibitions are... Rather... Well..not for everyone's taste... Speaking of taste, the desert and coffee was amazing. You can visit other amazing places from there and enjoy the panoramic view the place has
