About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in Benghazi, this place is a total surprise. You step through the door and the white walls are just alive with color from local artists. It doesn't feel like a formal museum at all, more like walking into someone's incredibly cool, curated home where every corner has something new to discover. I spent ages just wandering through the rooms, completely absorbed by the mix of modern paintings and traditional crafts.
Collection Highlights
Look for the stunning contemporary calligraphy that blends Arabic script with abstract forms, and don't miss the collection of vibrant textiles that tell stories of Libyan heritage.
Visitor Information
It's a good idea to check their social media pages before you go for current opening hours, as they can change. It's a small space, so you probably only need an hour or two to see everything properly.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is a beautifully restored traditional Libyan house with high ceilings and an airy central courtyard that lets in beautiful, soft light.
