Photos of National Museum of Beirut

The Beirut National Museum was established in 1937. It is a particularly important archaeological museum in Lebanon and a rare place to learn about the history of Lebanon and Beirut. The museum houses tens of thousands of cultural relics from different historical periods, including the hieroglyphs of the Phoenicians who invented alphabetic writing, as well as many statues and precious jade. At present, only restored and sorted cultural relics are on display, mainly sarcophagi, stone carvings and mosaics of the Phoenician, Persian, Greek and Roman eras, which are beautiful in shape and exquisite in craftsmanship.
