Sfeir-Semler Gallery
In bygone years, the port area of Karantina (or Quarantine) was for those disembarking cargo ships and isolated, should they be carrying infectious diseases. Fast forward to contemporary times, and this edgy industrial area is part of Beirut's growing art scene. The biggest and best venue is Sfeir-Semler, housed in an old metal factory. At 1,000 square meters, it has the size to stage huge exhibitions, often group shows of Middle Eastern artists or those from the U.S. and Europe.
