The Story Behind « “National Museum of Beirut »: In 1928, French architect Pierre Leprince-Ringuet and his Lebanese student, Antoine Sélim Nahas, won the competition to design the National Museum of Beirut. Their vision combined Deco neo-pharaonic elements with a classical Schinkel* inspired layout, resulting in a striking structure at the heart of Beirut. With its lotus-capped columns and sandstone façade, the museum symbolized the cultures it celebrated: Oriental, Greco-Roman, and Islamic worlds. Opened in 1938 and inaugurated in 1942, the museum witnessed Lebanon’s wars and turmoil, enduring damage yet standing resilient testament to the Lebanese spirit, it safeguards a shared heritage, inspiring pride and hope across generations.*Schinkel style: A classical architectural approach designed to create a space that serves as both a temple of art and a civic monument.
