Dahesh Museum of Arts

The Dahesh Museum of Art is the only museum in the United States devoted to the collection and exhibition of European academic art. The collection originated with Lebanese writer, humanist, and philosopher Saleem Moussa Ashi (1909-1984), pen name Dr. Dahesh.
The museum opened to the public in 1995 at an 1,800 square foot gallery on Fifth Avenue in New York City. In September 2003, it opened in a new 30,000 square foot space at 580 Madison Avenue and 56th street. There is a Museum store on the street level and a restaurant, Cafe Opaline, on the upper level which is open for lunch and tea.
