In celebration of National Heritage Day, museums and archaeological sites across Lebanon will open their doors free of charge on May 14, 15 and 16. The initiative invites the public to explore the country’s cultural landmarks without entrance fees during official working hours.

The annual occasion, observed on the third Thursday of May, is dedicated to promoting Lebanon’s rich historical legacy. As part of the event, a range of cultural and educational activities will be held at select locations to encourage public engagement with the nation's heritage.

Participating sites include the National Museum, Beiteddine Palace Museums and numerous archaeological landmarks overseen by the Directorate General of Antiquities. The initiative is part of broader efforts to foster appreciation for Lebanon’s diverse and layered past.

The Ministry of Culture's General Directorate of Antiquities is spearheading this effort to encourage citizens to explore and appreciate Lebanon's diverse cultural heritage. In addition to free access, several sites will host cultural and educational activities designed to raise awareness and inspire citizens to explore and appreciate their national heritage.
