    If Lebanon were not my country, I would have chosen it to be. The popular quote from Gebran Khalil Gebran to describe how much Lebanon is beautiful. A Lebanese writer, poet and painter, a real artist. His museum in Bcharee is a must see you will be amazed exploring his works. His museum in the heart of Bcharee overlooking the Wadisha Valley. Recommended to visit

    Being able to see the actual brush moves on Gebran's paintings made my heart sink. His writing amaze me every time I read it as if it was the first time.

    Beautiful Hermitage turned into a museum. Full of artwork from his archives, personal belongings and his final resting place. No photos allowed inside.

    Very interesting museum and collection. Never knew he painted so far! Be sure to visit his tomb as well.

    The old hermitage has great views of Bsharri. The museum displays some of Gibran's paintings which I found quite repetitive but the construction of the Hermitage in the mountain is worth seeing. Gibran's tomb is at the end of the self guided tour.

    When I went to the museum on a Sunday, I had not planned to visit it. But by curiosity, I went on foot and walked from the main road and all the way up till the museum. Before entering it, I visited a little shrine for saint Lourdes, built above the museum, and which required going up stairs. In the museum, I paid 200,000 L.L. for entrance and made a quick visit of three floors because I had arrived half an hour before the closure (at 16:00). At the entrance, there is drinkable water coming out a small water spring and called the Prophet's spring. Inside the museum, consisting of three floors, there are many rooms in which Gibran's paintings, furniture, books and painting materials that belonged to him are exhibited. His tomb is placed in a beautifully designed cave where there is also a beautiful light display on the wall of one of Gibran's quotes. It is forbidden to take pictures, this is why rare are the images posted of the museum. It felt like visiting a friend's exhibition! 😊

    The museum is really well maintained, full of information about the author and painter. It has a lot of his paintings, personal belongings, personal books with a lot of explanation about his life and work. Highly recommended. We are not allowed to take pictures inside, so here is the view and amazing sitting outside. I advise you to take your time, inside and outside with the serenity.

    Surprisingly good museum even if you're not familiar with Gibran. Worth visiting if you're in the area. Most importantly it was actually open which already makes it one of the top sites in Lebanon in 2022.

    Interesting and exciting place to learn more about the great work of Khalil Jabran. Whose story truly fascinated me. Use the chance to sit on one of the benches at the entrance to enjoy amazing views and cool breeze

    A wonderful peaceful museum, which was poetically curated. It contains the artworks and manuscripts of the great artist and poet, Gibran Khalil Gibran

    It's amazing place to be.

  • 5/5 Nabz K. 2 years ago on Google
    I went with zero expectations but left completely amazed. The tomb, “you my other self” script and the epitaph gave me goosebumps

  • 5/5 Vincent Z. 1 year ago on Google
    I am glad that they were open when I went. Seems like they actual want to be a museum. I was shocked how nice it was for being a smaller museum. Cute.

    Unfortunately was closed on a Monday.

  • 5/5 Jade T. 1 year ago on Google
    100% worth the visit. Wasnt aware of Gibran before visiting but so glad we stopped here. The building and surroundings alone are worth coming for as well as the wonderful artwork inside (which was very Da Vinci-esque). They have guides in English for anyone wondering and the manager/owner was extremely friendly and courteous. I cannot recommend enough anyone visiting Lebanon to come here.
