Sursock Museum. In post-war Beirut, fifteen different sculptures of human scale, whispering in indeterminate languages, invaded the only art museum in Beirut. They walked across its courtyard, climbed its trees, scaled its façade and crossed its roof, even reaching the roofs of neighboring buildings. Inside, the museum was animated by paintings and installations.
