Located near the main entrance of the Ministry of National Defense in Yarze, the museum is marked by a landmark, an enormous tower of beige concrete and weaponry. Designed and gifted to Lebanon in 1995 by an artist called Arman, on the accompanying plaque, the imposing monument, with over a score of tank barrels protruding from its side, is entitled Hope for Peace.[2] Just opposite stands the statue of the immortal, which was inaugurated on 22 November 1996, in memory of the LAF martyrs, and a plaque positioned on the museum's forecourt with the inscription "The Military Museum-Yarze" (prepared on 9 October 1998, under the patronage of General Émile Lahoud, the former commander of the army). The oval building includes 2 rooms with several levels and a lower lounge.[2] The museum's opening hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. from Monday till Friday.
