Beirut Museums & Galleries

Beirut’s cultural landscape spans millennia, from the National Museum’s Phoenician sarcophagi to the contemporary installations at the Beirut Art Center. The city’s history is preserved in the bullet-scarred Beit Beirut, while the Sursock Museum showcases modern Lebanese art within a 1912 Italianate villa. Specialized collections include the Mim Museum’s 2,000 minerals and the Museum of Lebanese Prehistory. The vibrant gallery scene in Clemenceau and Gemmayzeh features regional works at Dar El-Nimer and Saleh Barakat Gallery.
