An extraordinary place to see ! It' orignal and unique in its characteristics. It's located in front of Archeological Beirut museum, if you stay in Beirut its visit it's high reccomended. You will be fascinating of this museum, a real pearl of beirut !!

One of the most exciting minerals museum in the world, in one of the smallest countries in the world. We visited twice within 6 months, and were lucky to hear the (super-passionate) founder, Salim Eddé, explain his adventures in acquiring many of the world-class pieces, as well as explain about their characteristics. Ticket entry left, symbolically, at Lebanese Pounds 10,000 or less than 15 cents.

This museum has no right to be this good. The space is relatively small, but filled to the brim, but world-class in its execution, which was a huge surprise. The ticket practically cost nothing at the time (but Lebanon is in a weird place in 2024...). Don't expect a science deep-dive, as it is more of an exhibition than an educational museum. But I was here with me 20-month-old toddler, and he was awestruck, and frankly, so was I. Cute gift shop too. The whole thing left me more curious about minerals, which is an achievement in itself. PS: You can't bring water into the museum.
