Take a part of the National Museum of Beirut home with you with this stunning design concept for a souvenir kit. The green/ blue gradient backdrop plays nicely with the collage of statues broken up brings a funky, modern element to the ancient objects that are on the box. The gold foil embellishment is the hero of the design, instantly grabbing your attention as a consumer.


"The National Museum of Beirut is one of the most beautiful Lebanese landmarks and a person should visit at least once in their lifetime. It is the principal museum of archaeology in Lebanon.

The collection began after World War I, and the museum was officially opened in 1942. To keep the Museum with me wherever I go, I decided to design a Souvenir Kit to reflect the cultures that passed in Lebanon and left its historical beauties here.

This kit, which is easy to carry, includes a miniature of a Phoenician man, a notebook, and stamps. Visually, I made a collage of a statue with some ancient jewelry and coins as elements from the museum. As for colors, I started with recoloring the statue with hot pink and yellow, which are lively colors that contrast with the background which is dark green and blue. This contrasting color combination renders the package eye-catching and grabs the attention of the customers. This new modern and trendy package is a great idea for national and international visitors of the museum."
