Mim is a private mineral and fossil museum in Beirut, Lebanon. It exhibits more than 2,000 minerals, representing some 450 different species from over 70 countries. Created by nature itself, those works of art with their breathtaking aesthetics were formed in earth’s crust millions of years ago.
Mr. Salim Edde has built up this collection starting 1997. 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 our era. The mim collection is now considered to be one of the world's paramount private collections for the variety, size and quality of its minerals. A didactic circuit, accompanied by screens displaying movies and scientific applications of mineralogy, will reveal a world of unsuspected marvels--priceless both from an aesthetic and scientific point of view.
