One of the best museums in Lebanon. It's only when you tour it that you nurture a deep appreciation for minerals and crystals. A very modern impresive setting at an international level. Nature comes out as the most talented artistic sculptress.
Absolutely amazing. Great collection, good interior design with excellent light. A hidden treasure.
Beautiful collection all over. I mainly loved the fossils section, don't miss the very well done animation there about where fossils came from. They also have the biggest fossilized turtle in the world.
This is one fine museum. If you are in Beirut, make sure you don't miss it. Based on the private collection of one individual, the museum is place to more than 2000 items of mineral wonders. The colors and forms will inspire awe. It makes you appreciate natural wonders more. In addition to the minerals, the museum has a fossil collection. What's even greater is the light show in the fossil room. It makes the discovery of fossils more interesting and lively. I cannot recommend this place enough. Entrance for children under 12 is free, adults pay 4 dollars only. Students get special discounts too.
Meticulously curated collection. Really great for kids (big shiny objects, holograms, fossils, videos, fun couches in the video room). My niece's main feedback was "i love science!"
If you are interested in minerals and rocks be ready to get amazed. Its a must to visit. Make sure you have enough time for it because you will want to see every detail. Amazing.
amazing experience. amazing collection. amazing people. i think this is one of the must do's.
Very nice museum of metals and metallic minerals collected from all around the world. You find gold, silver, platinum and many other metals. In addition to that the museum organizes temporary expositions. This year it was on fossils found in Lebanon. The museum is the result of cooperation between the business man Salim Eddie and the Université de Saint Joseph of Beirut. The entry is free for children under 12 years and 9000 Libanese pounds (six US dollars) for adults.
This review is about security at the museum.
Museum is really amasing. The security was unfortunately shoking. I do not mind security measures and I do not mind to open my bags etc. But I do mind when a security guy opens it on his own without asking me first. I also had a second bag and he asked me to leave it with him. When I came back, I just found my bag unattended. I guess the security should be improved!
Magical place. Amazing selection
Breathtaking place with marvelous crystals and minerals, the collection is spectacular and so well presented. Entence fee is 4 dollas only. A must visit museum, not to be missed if in Beirut
Amazing Museum & very creative. You must visit when you visit Beirut
This is one of the top mineral museums in the world. Salim Edde built this collection and museum to show it, and the MIM museum should be on everybody's list of things to see in Beirut. I came all the way from Texas to see it. Bravo! Don't let my photos fool you, there are thousands of colorful things, and the coolest shapes, all created completely by nature. Don't hesitate, and go!
A hidden gem that is completely worth a visit if you wish to continue your emotional education, and learn a bit about geology at the same time. Great collection of gems from all around the world, displayed in an elegant way.
Most interesting museum in lebanon. Recommended for kids. Adapted videos and games to explain fossils
Worth it to see minerals from around the world in their inert forms
I liked it so much and it has impressive collections from all around the world and wonderful stones and I liked the Lebanese fossil section 😍
