The Gibran Museum, located in the Saint Sarkis Monastery in the town of Bcharre, is a museum dedicated to introducing the Lebanese philosopher, painter, poet and writer Gibran Khalil Gibran. The museum was founded in 1935. The museum contains 440 paintings, in addition to original drawings and manuscripts of the Lebanese philosopher, and also contains His craft tools that he used during his life in New York. His sister had purchased the building based on his will and the philosopher was buried in it due to its high moral value. It was the sanctuary of St. Sarkis in the seventh century AD, and the museum was expanded between 1975 and 1995.
