Memory Of Time Fossil Museum
About This Museum
You don't expect to find a world-class collection of prehistory tucked away in a traditional Lebanese stone house, but that's the magic of the Memory Of Time. Stepping inside feels like entering a treasure chest where every fossil tells an ancient story. The sheer variety is staggering, from delicate fish frozen in mid-swim to terrifyingly large shark teeth you can actually hold. It’s an intimate and utterly captivating journey back millions of years.
Collection Highlights
The star of the show is arguably the 'Libanolimulus,' a perfectly preserved horseshoe crab, but don't miss the stunning ammonites and the petrified wood that looks like sculpture.
Visitor Information

Architecture & Building
Housed in a charming, unassuming building of classic Lebanese sandstone, with rustic arched doorways that blend seamlessly into the old souk area.
