There are three main events that characterise if not define the early history of the National Museum of Beirut. First, in 1919 Commandant Raymond Weill, a French officer based in Lebanon, was given an antiquities collection that was initially housed in some of the rooms of the German Deaconesses Building on Georges Picot Street. Storing a collection hardly fits into our current understanding of museal activities, but this collection, in the end, did form part of the national museum’s collection, thereby marking a preliminary step in the creation of the institution.
