MACAM, Lebanon's first Modern And Contemporary Art Museum shows sculpture & installation art by 80 artists in a factory compound on a hilltop near Byblos overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Its permanent exhibition is an exciting journey through 100 years of sculpture.

Located in Byblos,the museum is a place of memory which aims to promote the common values & principles of humanity. As part of its remembrance activities on the occasion of the commemoration of the centennial of the Armenian Genocide, the Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia has commissioned the building of this cultural facility thanks to the active sponsorship of the Bezikian family.

I stopped here for about an hour and was very impressed. The museum does a thorough and professional job of covering the Armenian Genocide and the related issues pertaining to orphans. There is English signage throughout the museum and the exhibits are very informative. I would estimate that the museum is weighted 80% to the genocide and 20% to the history of the orphans. Highly recommended.

Vero Scultura is the first in Lebanon and one of a kind! what started as a summer activity in June 2019 became a long term museum project due to the overwhelming visitors' reaction! like never seen before, we exhibit statues made out of silicone materials that are so close to reality by looks and feel. our purpose is to deliver the ultimate touring experience with the finest art technology today.

located in the heart of the old souk byblos, vero scultura has to be on any tourist bucket list. it has hyper realistic statues,like so close to reality you feel they are about to move or talk. we were all surprised! you get a tour guide included with the tour, they explain to you how it is made and the difference between the new material silicone and other materials. staff are super friendly and we could interact with the statues, we were lucky enough to meet the artist who did all of the art work inside. bravo, well done.
