Ameen Rihani Museum, Literary museum in Freike, Lebanon.

The Ameen Rihani Museum occupies the lower level of the family residence and displays manuscripts, letters, artworks, and personal possessions of the Lebanese-American writer. The collection includes his original desk from 1904, a typewriter, personal documents, and gifts received from Middle Eastern leaders and the Pope.

Ameen Rihani lived from 1876 to 1940 and was a writer who bridged Eastern and Western cultures. His brother Albert founded this museum in 1953 to preserve the writer's legacy.

Three portraits by Kahlil Gibran and artworks from international artists depicting Rihani hang throughout the space. These pieces show how deeply connected the writer was to the artistic circles of his era.

Plan to spend time examining the handwritten documents and personal items up close as they offer direct insight into the writer's life. The house sits in a quiet village and is best reached by private transportation or local taxi.

The tenth hall holds books, theses and press clippings about Rihani gathered during and after his life; Albert Rihani noted in his book "Where to Find Ameen Rihani" that by the early 1980s material on him had appeared in 43 countries and 26 languages.
