Beirut National Museum - Museum, Beirut, Lebanon

If Lebanon is admired for its seven millennia of history, the Beirut National Museum is at the same time its window and refuge. Built between 1930 and 1937, its collections reflect the extraordinary wealth of an exceptional heritage.

History. The heritage, which saw the light of day in 1930 and comprises the first antiquities, was quickly enriched with the numerous excavations carried out since then. Entirely renovated by the National Foundation for Heritage between 1995 and 1999, the Beirut National Museum is a huge edifice where blocks of ochre stone and columns open onto a two-story space of impressive proportions open to the public.

Collections. From the first step across the doorway, it’s a journey through the ages that the visitor undertakes. The more you walk along the aptly lit alleys, the more astonished you get.

From Prehistory to the Bronze Age, from the Hellenistic period to the Roman period, from the Byzantine period to the Mamluk period, it’s all the incredible diversity of Lebanon’s influences that reaches out for you. Under the charm, one cannot feel more alive when such a heritage is so subtly developed.

About Beirut :
Beirut, with its million-plus inhabitants, conveys a sense of life and energy that is immediately apparent. This dynamism is echoed by Capital’s geographical position: a great promontory jutting into the blue sea with dramatic mountains rising behind it. A city with a venerable past, 5,000 years ago Beirut was a prosperous town on the Canaanite and Phoenician coast.
