American University of Beirut - Natural History Museum

Our Collection

These unique resources for scientific research and education are the only collections that represent the biodiversity of our area. We are working to make these more accessible for research and teaching, and to expand on a regular basis in order to accurately reflect the region's faunal and floral life.

Welcome to the Natural History Museum

The Natural History Museum at AUB holds scientifically priceless collections of specimens of the animals and plants of Lebanon and the region. For many years, these collections have been under the care of the Biology Department which has managed to curate and maintain them.
