A must visit. You see minerals from all over the world. You are amazed by nature's creation. The entrance is minimal 6000 l.l for adults, 2000l.l for kids between 12 and 18 and free for kids under 12. I recommend it for all ages. It has also interactive screens that are very interesting and helpful to understand more about chemical elements of the minerals. If you are lucky you ll get a tour with Salim and then you ll be amazed more by the story of each piece. The display is also very well designed to capture you each time from a different point of view either by type or region or rarity. And there is another section about the fossils of Lebanon. The whole experience is very interesting. Parking is available and the museum is wheelchair accessible.

A real delight. Thankful to have had to the opportunity to go this museum. The location was convenient and the minerals being showcased were breathtaking. The informative video at the end of the museum was also quite impressive. I recommend this museum to any and all tourists, especially non-mineral experts like myself who simply appreciate how wonderful nature is.
