On the occasion of the centennial commemorations of the Armenian Genocide, as part of its commemorative initiatives, the Armenian Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia created the Orphan\u2019s Museum, the first in the diaspora, on the premises of the Armenian Orphanage of Jbeil, known as the “Birds\u2019 Nest.\u201d This project was made possible by the generous sponsorship of the Bezikian family.

The Museum features three exhibits. The first presents the life of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire on the eve of the First World War and the genocide perpetrated against the Armenians by the Ottoman Turkish government in 1915 and 1916. The second dramatizes the role of the various non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and western missionaries that helped resettle the surviving orphans in the Middle East, particularly in Lebanon. The third exhibit shows the rehabilitation and settlement of the orphans into their new home in Lebanon. A specific scene is dedicated to the story of Maria Jacobsen, the “Mama,” who devoted her whole life to the thousands of orphans in the “Birds\u2019 Nest.”

Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Schedule Of Events:<\/strong>Adults: 5000 LL
