Created by nature millions of years ago, minerals are works of art with breathtaking aesthetics, incredible geometric shapes and fabulous color palette.
Mimodactylus libanensis “mimo” is the fossil of a pterodactyl. This one-of-a-kind complete specimen was found in Lebanon. It is a new species and a new genus of pterosaur, a being which lived around 95 million years ago.
It is promoted by means of state-of-the-art modern techniques: a hologram, an auto-stereoscopic movie, a full-scale reconstitution and a game “fly with mimo” – an entertainment that delights children and adults.
MIM is another place in Lebanon where precious treasures from all over the world meet and tell the stories of their countries. Different shapes, different colors, different sizes, but one unique pleasure for the eyes. Personally I'm never tired of visiting this wonderful place. As a science teacher I take my learners every year and they enjoy and are amazed by this experience...and will keep talking about it all year long. Lebanon managed not only to bring people from different countries but also a wonderful land masterpiece from many countries. Thank you MIM. I'm proud to have MIM in Lebanon.
