Morjan fine art home مرجان بيت الفن العريق
About This Museum
Tucked away on a street named for the poet Nizar Qabbani, the Morjan Fine Art Home feels more like a secret you've stumbled upon than a formal institution. It occupies a beautifully preserved Damascene house, where art feels perfectly at home among the traditional stonework and shaded courtyards. You'll find a wonderfully eclectic mix here, from powerful modern Syrian canvases to delicate archaeological finds that whisper of the city's layered past. The atmosphere is intimate and hushed, encouraging you to linger in each room as if exploring a private collector's abode.
Collection Highlights
Look for the striking contemporary portraits that seem to dialogue with a nearby case of ancient Roman glass. Don't miss the collection of early 20th-century oil paintings capturing old Damascus alleyways in beautiful, fading light.
Visitor Information
It's located at G79M+PHH on Nizar Qabbani Street—just look for the grand, unassuming Arab door. Since it's a smaller venue, there's no overwhelming crowd, making it a perfect quiet escape from the city's bustle.
Architecture & Building
The museum is housed in a classic Damascene house, characterized by its black-and-white stone courtyard (ablaq), central fountain, and high-ceilinged rooms with large arched windows.
