The MIM is a private museum in Beirut, Lebanon. The name is an abbreviation of "Mineral Museum."[1] The museum displays more than 2,000 minerals, representing 450 different species from 70 countries, and is considered one of the most significant private collections of minerals in the world.[2] It opened in 2013.[3] The museum also hosts an exhibition of marine and flying fossils from Lebanon.

History

The MIM mineral collection was put together from 1997 by Salim Eddé, chemical engineer and co-founder of the computer company Murex. In 2004, he decided to make his collection accessible to the public and designed the first museum of its kind in Lebanon. Eddé presented the idea to Father René Chamussy, rector of the Saint Joseph University of Beirut, who adopted it and reserved for the collection 1,300 m2 in the basement of a building then under construction on the campus near the National Museum of Beirut.[4] The inauguration of the museum, built on the personal funds of the collector, finally took place in October 2013.
