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.
J'ai eu l'occasion, par hasard, de visiter le Mineral Museum de Beyrouth, et je ne l'ai absolument pas regretté. Cette collection de minéraux "bruts" n'ayant subit aucune modification est tout simplement impressionnante de par ses formes qui se rapprochent de l'art abstrait et qui pourtant, sont naturelles. Des vrais joyaux. A voir !
