Far Zahran Heritage Building-awesome art!

Today, my sister, our friend and I went to Ramallah to visit a museum/heritage center that was once used as a home by the family that currently owns it. The house represents a traditional Palestinian home with one room that acted as a space for spending time with each other, eating, sleeping etc. and there is a basement which was used for storage and housed the animals. When we entered the museum, we were met by the owner and he offered us candy and offered us a seat while he described the history of the house and what was currently being shown. The owner was very nice and offered us water, tea or coffee and answered any questions we had. After we wondered around the six rooms that they have within the museum. The two exhibitions that were up were done by two Palestinian refugees. Both exhibitions told their story and the story of people like them. These paintings are beautiful full of sadness, hope and memories and I think the embody the true experience of the Palestinians.
