Amazing and unique museum in lebanon. I recommend everyone to visit it, it’s very enriching and informative and the rocks and stones on display are some of the prettiest i have ever seen. The ticket is still very cheap (10,000) for now and you can easily spend a couple of hours there. Taking pictures is okay. And the souvenir shop has some nice things !

Very beautiful stones collection from all the world. Ticket price in February 2022 was 10000 lt., approximately 3,5 $. There are very good chooses of gifts from natural stones in museum shop.

This was the best museum I’ve ever been to in Lebanon! It was an amazing experience and the minerals were very beautiful! The movie was amazing! And the 3D minerals looked very realistic! The pterodactyl game was very fun to play! And the minerals shop had amazing mineral earrings and rings!

One of our favorite stops in Beirut! Absolutely magnificent pieces! Pictures do no justice, you have to see them in person!

An excellent place displaying one of the most interesting collections of minerals from many countries. The description is clear and concise and the place is meticulously clean. There’s a souvenir shop to purchase interesting gifts and there’s a coffee house just outside the museum but in the same building.

I had never visited such a museum before, there are few museums in Beirut. Although, every part of Beirut is a historical museum. I was very impressed with the tour. I shopped at the museum shop. Definitely buy natural stone with very affordable price. You should definitely see it up close. It is also within the university.

Absolutely amazing museum where you can be inspired! I was in love to visit it and going to come back again. And buy something in their shop. Really one of the most beautiful museum I’ve ever been. Everyone in Beirut must visit it! And doesn’t matter if you have a lot of money if not. Tickets are super affordable for everyone, I’m surprised they have a ticket for 10000 lbp. Less than the bottle of water!!!

This is such a marvelous gem. Not only because it houses some of the most stunning gems I have ever seen, but also because the people that work there invest all their passion into bringing these treasures to the public. A must see when in Beirut.

Quite mesmerizing, tons of different amazing minerals from all over the world

It's a breathtaking exhibition. I have seen many expositions of minerals and precious stones but this one exceeds them all by far. Additional thumbs up for friendly and helpful staff. A must see when in Beirut,

Very interesting museum. Didn't expect such a huge variety of minerals and crystals.

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.

This was one of the best museum experiences I’ve ever had!! The collection is incredible and full of rare and unusual stones. There are also videos and plaques where you learn more about the different types of rocks. There’s a UV display room which was incredible. The treasure is probably the highlight.

A really good museum for the ones who love geology or simply like to see the beauties of nature. A pretty and varied collection of minerals, stones, crystals and fossils from diverse sites in the world. I went with the hop on hop off touristic bus, the entry was included in the process of the city sightseeing. I spent approximately 40 minutes at the museum, but I would recommend a little more time, if you want to appreciate with patience all of the collection. All ages can enjoy the visit. The gift shop is great. I bought a beautiful bracelet there for a friend.

Really one of the best mineral museums in the world, I would put this place in my top 3. Having some really rare pieces as well as one of the biggest collections of gems and stones as well as fossil’s but you know it’s not about the quantity, it’s about the quality and I would say this place has top tier quality pieces on showcase. The things I recommend seeing when going there is firstly the radioactive part where they show how they glow in ultraviolet light as well in this room see the amber that comes from lebanon but the room is on the right side in a secluded room when you go in the mineral section of the museum. Then the second thing i recommend seeing is the rare earth materials which is just when you come in the mineral room which shows different diamonds, gold formations and platinum. The third thing I recommend is the meteorite that at the end of the mineral room that explains that there was a meteorite found in lebanon in the 1920s that’s now in USA (you’ll get more information when you go). But in conclusion this is one of the best museums in lebanon and you cannot miss it if you’re a tourist.

Amazing museum and very friendly staff. Will definitely come back!

Amazing collection of crystals from around the world and fossils of Lebanon. A person who appreciates the science, as well as, a person who likes pretty things would enjoy this museum. This is one of the highlights of our time in Lebanon and we would go again.

Most unique display and magnitude of display I have ever seen. They have made something awesome here for everyone to marvel at. Not what I expected for Lebanon.

Impressed would be an understatement. I definitely encourage anyone to visit this museum, even those that aren’t usually into museums. A visit here would not disappoint you at all given its huge collection of beautiful minerals collected all around the world. As a tourist in my own country, it was surprising for me to find such beauties in Lebanon. Not only will you see a wide diversity of minerals but you will also see different fossils and watch a video about how they’re formed. Truly a wonderful place. Entrance fees are for 3,000 LL if you’re a student (upon showing your uni ID card) and 6,000 LL if you’re not a student.

Another Lebanese hidden gem. Amazing stones. A must on the Things To Do and see in Lebanon.

the admission fee was cheap! the experience was nice but if you want full ex. better go with an expert in the field. the museum should add an audio guide for visitors

It is such a lovely place to spend time with friends and family. The staff are very friendly and can answer any inquiry you have about any stone or crystal. I loved how passionate they are about their work. The gift shop is also interesting as they sell things of different price ranges.

Amazing

Great collection! Must see for those interested.

The mim museum is a gem by itself. The minerals in display constitute one of the best if not the best and richest private collection of minerals in the world. A unique experience, an eye-opening encounter with nature and its miracles.

I really enjoyed visiting this museum. Everything is wonderful. The receiption, guides and other employees are respectful, helpful and skillful. I strongly recommend to visit it once you travel to Beirut.

(Translated by Google) Excellent. A rare pearl. To visit sand moderation from the age of 7 years (Original) Excellent. Une perle rare. A visiter sand moderation à partir de l'âge de 7 ans

Amazing selection and display of gems and stones from around the world. My kids especially enjoyed the fossils and video of the gem finders at the end. They bought a gem in the gift shop for 5,000 LL per gram.

Amazing museum!!! More people should come here to see that beauty!

Definitely worth a visit! I would go back. It's very well laid out, the minerals and metals are beautiful and they have informational videos and touchscreens throughout. It's somewhat small, but if you like minerals and fossils enough you can easily spend 2 hours there. They also have some fluorescent minerals and really cool 3D stuff which I've never seen before.

My host in Beirut recommended a visit to the MIM after the nearby National Museum. Wow! I am glad I had time. What a stunning collection or minerals from around the world. This once private collection is now on display for all of us to experience. I have a new appreciation for geology after seeing this. It is a very unique museum and added to my glowing impression of Beirut.

A place to visit in family. The place is well organized by type of minerals and provide rich educational materials. It is a real pleasure for the eyes, wandering around the colourful collection of minerals. In addition, there is variety of multimedia presentations that complement well the visit. Depending on your curiosity level, you can spend easily two hours for the visit.

extremely fun and informative. took 2 hours to view fully 10/10 would recommend the staff was amazing

Amazing museum! It was a great experience. Stone are nothing that you've seen before. A must visit!!

Perfect place for a reflective (full pun intended) outing with your friends, your date, or even yourself. With each visit I see something I hadn't focused on before, and exploring is always fun and informative. Recommended, for sure.

The best museum I've ever visited in Lebanon. You will see all kinds of minerals, crystals, gemstones and even fossils. It is a private collection of Mr. Salim Edde from around the world and some from our beloved Lebanon as well. I don't have the exact count of minerals but I'm sure it's well over 2000. Each one unique in size, shape, colour and origin. And if you're lucky enough to have the guided tour (with Mr Salim himself) each has its own story and its challenges to get it all the way to Mim museum. Also, it's really easy to get there, the entrance fee is 10 000 LBP (which is absolutely nothing for a museum of that calibre), free entrance for studends and kids (who should definitely visit as well) The decor is simply on point, it looks like those museums you see in movies and each room has a certain lighting to it to put more value on the items on display. I'm sure kids and students will enjoy the tour as much, if not more, than adults. The geometrical shapes of those stones, the million of years in formation and the way they get formed in the end makes you in awe of nature and science. Holograms, interactive touch screens and cool displays will also help you learn more about each mineral and a lot more on chemistry and the elements of nature in action. I have shared some of the pictures I took inside but they don't do the collection any justice. Make sure to visit!

The collection is good and definitely worth seeing, but I can't recommend it currently because of their mask rules. This is probably the only place in Lebanon that still forces you to wear a mask (oh, you didn't bring one? Don't worry, you can BUY ONE at the entrance). Even toddlers have to wear a mask. I feel like this is a rule meant to appease leftist western donors of the university. The worst part is it's really hot in there too while they force you to wear a mask.

The museum shows an amazing collection of minerals. It is an absolute go to in Beirut! Enjoy the sheer beauty of the minerals and don’t forget to read the scientific explanations using the QR codes to learn how all these minerals are created in nature!

Must visit this museum, incredibile stones from different countries, very interesting see the formation of the natural stones, fluorescent stones, amazing pieces of land art: stone natural art with videos about the period table chemistry. Inside is possibile also see some beautiful pieces of animals fossils and also play a game from the Mimodactylus Libanensis and learn about it story. Very, very interesting!!!!! 🙏🏽☺️

A fantastic museum done the right way! Come see it, even of you don't care too much about minerals for fossils. The display is absolutely fabulous. Don't miss the video on the fossils, it's a lot of fun. When you reach the pterodactyl, there is an interactive game you may play by remotely controlling its flight with your gestures! Allow about two hours to fully enjoy the site. Entry is currently at 10,000 LL (7 USD on the "official" rate and 0.30 USD on the market rate). Restrooms are available inside the museum.

The collection is incredible. To see all those minerals with their composition (as we would have learnt in the periodic table) is overwhelming. The colours, shapes are completely unimaginable.

Awesome experience!

Fascinating !

(Translated by Google) Very rich museum, the lighting is great, and the way in which they present the objects is unequaled in all the museums of the country. My three year old son was fascinated by the fossil chamber. Another big thank you. (Original) Musée très riche, l’éclairage est formidable, et la manière dont ils présentent les objets et sans égal dans tous les musées du pays. Mon fils de trois ans était fasciné par la chambre des fossiles. Encore un grand merci.

Wonderful museum, settings, animation, content, welcoming... proud to have it in Lebanon

(Translated by Google) Very surprised by the beauty of the minerals very beautiful film on fossils and the animation film 3 very nice museum to do I recommend (Original) Très surprise par la beauté des minéraux très beau film sur les fossiles et le film animation 3 trés sympa musée à faire je recommande

(Translated by Google) The coolest museum in Beirut (Original) Najfajniejsze muzeum w Bejrucie

(Translated by Google) The M Museum is a private museum in Beirut, Lebanon. The museum displays more than 2000 types of minerals, representing 450 different types from 70 countries, and is considered one of the most important special collections of minerals in the world. The museum also hosts an exhibition of marine fossils and aviation from Lebanon. The museum highlights the "aesthetic side" more than the scientific and metallic side, although it was developed through touch screens that provide visitors with a deepening of their knowledge (Original) متحف ميم هو متحف خاص في بيروت، لبنان. يعرض المتحف أكثر من 2000 نوع من المعدنيات، يمثل 450 نوعًا مختلفًا من 70 دولة، ويعتبر أحد أهم المجموعات الخاصة من المعدنيات في العالم. كما يستضيف المتحف معرضًا للأحفوريات البحرية والطيران من لبنان. يسلط المتحف الضوء على "الجانب الجمالي" أكثر من الجانب العلمي والمعدني، على الرغم من أنه تم تطويره من خلال شاشات تعمل باللمس توفر للزوار تعميق معرفتهم

Very interesting

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful places I have ever been in the world. If you love to see the works of nature, this is definitely a must. I spent more than five hours inside, looking carefully at each stone. Congratulations to the entire team and creators of the museum. (Original) Um dos lugares mais lindos que já estive no mundo. Se você ama ver as obras da natureza, com certeza esse é um ponto de parada obrigatório. Fiquei mais de cinco horas lá dentro, olhando com cuidado cada pedra. Parabéns a toda equipe e criadores do museu.

Outstanding!

Coolest museum in the Lebanon. Every gem has information attached to it and every single detail is written.After the tour you can watch a movie about the history of the museum and how the gems were collected.Highly recommend visiting this museum.Lastly, there is an interactive touch screen with cool features concerning the chemistry of the elements and the locations of extraction.

Very beautiful crystals and gemstones from multinations. Very interesting museum and lot of wonderful stones. The museum size and the number of stones inside it exceed our expectations. Must see!

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.

Super exciting! Beautiful collection of minerals

What a great museum, must be visited when in Beirut, great job keep it up.

Very interesting museum. So many minerals, stone and fossils, disposed in an artistic way that make you feel the vibes You an watch a movie about fossils formation and extraction too Make sure to read the brochures for more info, because there was no guide to tell about it.

Such a fascinating place, really. So many crystals and precious stones, a veritable cornucopia of shiny things. Go see it.

One of the best museum experience i have ever had. Totally recommended even if you aren’t into mineral stuff. Super interesting and organized. The fossils show was my fav. Make sure you won’t miss that.

Amazing exhibition, it is something you can not miss, you will be overwhelmed with the number of minerals, colors and shapes that you would see! The fossil exhibition and the video is very interesting specially for foreigners! Highly recommended. You can visit the national museum and walk for around 10 mins to reach MIM mineral museum, the location is very convenient!

it was absolutely amazing, breath taking, and mind blowing i loved it Very beautiful and priceless experience you need to see this before you die
