Fondation Charles CORM

This building with a unique architecture in Beirut was designed by the great poet and industrialist Charles Corm. It started as a Ford car showroom before being transformed into his family's private residence. After his sons, David and Hiram, took over, it was converted into the headquarters for the Charles Corm Foundation, becoming a cultural hub in the city. With Lebanon experiencing a return to political stability, the foundation has been able to resume its cultural engagements, hosting various events that enrich Beirut's cultural landscape. The two conferences that took place earlier this week are excellent examples of the foundation's activities. The first, organized by La Renaissance Française Délégation Liban and chaired by Nada Chaoul, featured Dr. Khalil Kharrat discussing "Variations introspectives autour de 50 ans de vie médicale." The second event, "Le Tango: une conversation silencieuse qui se danse," was presented by the historian Maryse Pico, highlighting the cultural and historical significance of tango, connecting her Argentinian heritage through her late husband, Ambassador Pedro Pico. These events reflect the foundation's commitment to fostering an environment where literature, art, and intellectual discussions can flourish. For anyone interested in experiencing this unique architectural and cultural venue, visiting the Charles Corm Foundation in Beirut is highly recommended.
