The exhibition is inextricably linked to both the past and present of the country.
Byblos, located on Lebanon’s Mediterranean coast and inhabited since around 6900 BC, is widely considered to be the world’s oldest port city.
For millennia, it served as a crossroads between Egypt, Mesopotamia and the wider Mediterranean, playing a central role in trade, language and early urban life.
It is one of Lebanon’s best-known historic cities, a UNESCO-listed place that has long helped define the country’s image abroad.
