It’s good for all ages. I had a lot of fun looking at all this colorful and amazing material. Also, there are different shows and a game. And don’t forget about the different kind of souvenirs.

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!

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.
