Situated on the Université Saint-Joseph campus at the heart of Beirut, the museum faces one of the most important arteries of the city: Damascus Street.
Once the Civil War’s dividing line, Damascus Street unfolds as an architectural and historical record, stretching from the mythical Sodeco Tower at one end to neighborhoods of residential Art Deco buildings at the other, adjacent to many of the city’s important institutions such as Beit Beirut, the USJ Human Sciences buildings, the French embassy and Cultural Center, the MIM Mineral Museum, and the National Museum.
