Kids Lab

Starting Saturday June 6, we will be dedicating our Twin Galleries to families and younger visitors as a Kids Lab, which will remain in place throughout the summer season. 

As strengthening our educational programming has been a central priority for the museum, these spaces will  be readapted into two separate rooms: the first gallery will function as an active workspace, where children can engage with the Museum’s permanent collection through hands-on activities, which will include colouring booklets, board games, and custom memory games. The second room will be dedicated to film projections. 

On Saturday June 13, 20, and 26, Sursock Museum invites children aged 6 to 12 to take part in My Village with Saliba Douaihy, a creative workshop inspired by the work of the renowned Lebanese painter. Beginning with a discovery of Soksok, the Museum’s educational book, the sessions will introduce participants to Douaihy’s distinctive landscapes through colouring and collage activities.

Drawing on the theme “My Village,” children are asked to bring a printed photograph of their village, neighborhood, or a place that holds special meaning for them. Through guided artistic exercises, they will transform their photographs into vibrant artworks inspired by Douaihy’s treatment of landscape, memory, and colour. The workshop offers a playful introduction to art while encouraging children to explore their own connections to place and belonging.

Held on Saturdays from 11:00 AM to 12:00 noon in the Kids Lab, the workshops are free of charge and limited to 10 participants.
