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.
The Mim Museum was the surprise highlight of our weekend trip to Lebanon. The collection itself was spectacular and so well presented. Be sure to take the time to watch the video explaining the preservation of fish fossils and the 3D video of the story of Mimo, the resident dinosaur. As a lifelong educator, I was so impressed with the way cutting edge technology was used to enhance learning throughout the visit. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit
and plan to return with our children in the fall.
