Beirut National Museum

On the ground floor, 83 large objects : sarcophagi, mosaics, statues, and low reliefs, are displayed in a chronological order ranging from the 3rd millenium B.C. to the Byzantine period.

On the upper floor, the visitor can admire 1250 artifacts arranged in a chronological order from Prehistory to Mamluk times. Those illustrating the Ottoman period were recently discovered in Beyrouth central district.

The displayed objects were selected according to both space and time : the idea behind these selection principles was to represent items from all Lebanese regions as well as from all the chronological periods arrested in Lebanese history.

The exhibition includes all types of artifacts left by ancient civilizations.
