Beit Beirut
Open from Monday to Saturday form 8 am to 8 pm
Since the end of the war, the Yellow House, already badly damaged by the conflict, has continued to deteriorate from ageing and acts of vandalism. Threatened with demolition at the end of the 1990s, the Yellow House was finally saved thanks to the efforts of civil society and the commitment of the City of Beirut which led to an expropriation procedure granted on grounds of public interest in 2003.
Under the terms of the expropriation decree, the Yellow House will be restored to accommodate:
- a museum,
- a cultural and artistic meeting place,
- a facility for archiving research and studies on the city of Beirut throughout history,
- an urban planning office for the City of Beirut,
- an underground car-park.
