Museum of Mosaics - Achrafieh

At the end of our walking tour, Bechara directed the bus towards the office in the Achrafieh neighborhood of the city. There, we made a quick stop into a low-key museum of mosaics right before the building closed for the night. Sort of a drive-by visit, without a lot of time to spend marveling at everything within, but worth a hurried look regardless. This art of building large images by compiling countless stones is quite beautiful, and there's an ageless quality to it. So much history here, everywhere you turn...
