I was amazed with the number of exponents dating from prehistoric time and covering all the periods of human development. There are three stores, therefore make sure you set a couple hours of visit

Just an amazing museum with a wonderful collection. Essential spot to visit on your trip to Lebanon. Impressive collection and very nicely organized. Excellent gift shop as well selling a wonderful collection of things from Lebanon and Lebanese artisans. Note though it’s closing at 2pm these days (not 5pm) because of the power outages. It’s a shame though that the Ministry of Culture hasn’t raised the admission price, it’s only 5,000LL which is the equivalent right now of only 0.25 cents USD!! Keep it that price for Lebanese citizens, but it should be immediately increased for all others. Also there should be tour guides on-site always (you have to book them ahead). I would have gladly paid for a tour guide to take me around the museum as I’m sure many other tourists would as well.
