The 2016 renovation of this venerable Lebanese institution has turned it into an essential place to visit. Even if you are not an archeology fan, which is its main focus, this museum will fascinate you if only by the sheer expanse of the period covered by the exhibits. Impeccably kept, the renovated building is a far cry from its past. The exhibits are beautifully laid out. They never overwhelm leaving visitors wanting for more. The museum is working on an expansion to allow more room for its vast hidden collection. Do not miss it.

Nice historical place Book a guide to help you. You won't understand anything alone except if you are an expert in that field. It is the only national museum in Lebanon

A really noteworthy museum of the Mediterranean basin civilisations. Outstanding, above all, the jewels. The only flaw is the logical/chronological order of the visit path, but on the other hand the building comes from another epoch.

Great museum with lovely mosaics from the area. Also features statutes, sarcophagi, pots, funeral urns and jewellery. The restoration video is worth watching, if only to appreciate the effort that has gone into restoring the museum since the civil war. Entry is inexpensive at around $10.

One of my most favourite museum. Full of history. Don't miss to watch the movie that introduces the museum. Greek coffins on the underground floor made me trilled. Don't miss this museum if you visit Beirut!

Best museum I've ever visited in my life, and I've visited a lot of museums. Very calm, clean, and of course AMAZING historical pieces in very well condition. Everything is described in both Arabic and English.

Great museum, fantastic pieces of Roman times, Hellenic period and beyond. Unmissable, so well curated, well laid out, guide with an iPad where you can scan the selected pieces and understand the history. A must see highlight the recreated Roman tomb from Tyre, the famous sarcophagus with the first Phoenician alphabet and the 25 sarcophagus collection on the ground floor!

Beautiful museum wonderfully preserved pieces that witnessed unique historical periods. It even has a the mark of the recent Lebanese war with a hole in one of its most magnificent mosaics. Museum gift shop has exclusive items from talented Lebanese designers.

Surprising gem with a great collection surpassing most international museums in the quality, preservation and intricacy of the pieces. Some of the prettiest sarcophagi and rarest mummies. So lucky to finally visit it! A must see for any visitor to the country and locals alike.

Lebanon's national historical treasures are many and the museum offers a glimpse into the various historical periods with a very rich collection of large and small monuments. The place has undergone recent renovation and is truly very neat and lovely to visit. The entrance fee is symbolic and discounted for students and youth. I highly recommend it as an essential visit when in Lebanon. Parkings are not available so keep this in mind when choosing transportation.

Magnificent. Magical. Mystical. Read some mythology before going there. Will make the trip more worthwhile

A beautiful yellow limestone building fronted by a row of ancient Egyptian inspired lotus flower topped columns. The place was built before the Lebanese independence to house various treasures found across the territory and kept in private collections. Among the highlights are the sarcophagus of Ahiram sporting the oldest known example of the full Phoenician alphabet.

It's beautiful inside! Really well done renovation! But there's so much missing! A country with so much history cannot be summarised in an 1 hour museum tour! We have too much antiques that are in France and other countries. It's a shame we don't have then here. Plus it needs a better video, better informations, more guides.

Great compact museum for archeology and anciente history fans. Check out the basement with the anthropoid sarcophagus. Not easy to get to but get a taxi or uber.

This is a neat museum. The first floor mainly has artifacts from the Roman period. Unfortunately most things to see aren't signed very well, so you often don't really know what you're looking at. Upstairs, which is much smaller, has interesting things to see from further back in Lebanon's history.

The National Museum is an iconic landmark building at the heart of Beirut city. Lebanon and Beirut have a rich history stretching all the way to the stone age and artifacts from various periods are on display at the museum. The museum, by any means, is small and can be toured in one hour or so. Though I like it, I feel Lebanon needs a bigger museum that highlights its culture through the ages.

Amazing experience of visiting the rich national museum. The exhibits artifacts and vintage stuff take you back in time. The place will roughly need you to spend around 2hours there touring the basement, ground floor and 1st floor. Everything is well exhibited in place.
