Lebanese Military Museum, military museum in Yarze, Baabda District
The Lebanese Military Museum is a military museum in Beirut that documents the history of Lebanon's armed forces. The collection displays historical uniforms, weapons, medals, photographs, and equipment spanning different periods of military development.
The museum was established after Lebanese independence in 1945 to preserve military history. Construction began in 1968 but faced interruptions, and the collection was finally relocated to a new building next to the Defense Ministry in 1998.
The museum reflects the identity and pride of Lebanon's armed forces through its displays of emblems and symbols. Local visitors come here to honor their military history and remember those who served the nation.
The museum is located in Yarze near the Defense Ministry and is easily accessible from central Beirut. The site has a calm environment suitable for spending time reading displays and reflecting on the exhibits.
A striking monument from 1995 features over twenty tank barrels protruding from the ground, titled 'Hope for Peace' and created as a gift by artist Arman. This artwork stands alongside the statue of the 'Immortal', which honors soldiers who died in service.
