Mim Museum - Mineral Museum in Beirut, Lebanon
Mim Museum - Mineral Museum in Beirut, Lebanon
Mim is a private museum in Lebanon, located on the Saint-Joseph university campus in Beirut. More than 1400 minerals are exhibited there, representing more than 300 different species from over 60 countries.
Mr. Salim Edde has built up this collection since 1997. There you can discover pieces originating from a number of renowned collections --both old and more recent-- as well as from the major mining discoveries of their era. It is now considered to be one of the world's paramount private collections for the variety and quality of its minerals.
A didactic circuit, accompanied by screens showing films and scientific applications of mineralogy, will reveal a world of unsuspected marvels--priceless both from an aesthetic and scientific point of view.
When Salim Edde started building up his collection of minerals in 1997, he may or may have not known it would yield what is now considered one of the world's paramount private collections for its variety and quality. With more than 1600 minerals from over 65 countries on display, the collection at Mim museum is one not to be missed for all mineral and metal lovers...and non-lovers for that matter. Whether you work in the field, are a passionate enthusiast or are clueless about minerals or metals but appreciate beauty, this museum will not fail to leave you with a lasting impression. Prepare to get way more than you bargained for: pay the ridiculously low admission fee (comparable to that of the Lebanon National Museum) and step into a world of mind-boggling cultural wealth. The exhibits are divided into a main gallery and a treasure section; both heavily guarded by cordial but not-to-be-messed with security staff. Complete with digital educational tools, informative videos and displays, Mim offers a world-class museum experience.
The name of the museum comes from the twenty-fourth letter of the Arabic alphabet (Mim) and is the equivalent of the Latin letter M. It is also the first letter of the Arabic words for Museum, Mineral and Metal, which coincidentally is also the case in English and French. The goal of this permanent exhibit located within the campus of Universite Saint Joseph is to promote the historical, industrial, economic and aesthetic of mineralogy.

The collection was begun after World War I, and the museum was officially opened in 1942. The museum has collections totaling about 100,000 objects, most of which are antiquities and medieval finds from excavations undertaken by the Directorate General of Antiquities.

Lebanon is a country in Western Asia. It is bordered by Syria to the north and east and Israel to the south, while Cyprus is west across the Mediterranean Sea. Lebanon's location at the crossroads of the Mediterranean Basin and the Arabian hinterland facilitated its rich history and shaped a cultural identity of religious and ethnic diversity. At just 10,452 km2 (4,036 sq. mi.), it is the smallest recognized sovereign state on the mainland Asian continent.
