True to his policy of always encouraging and promoting serious cultural endeavor in Lebanon,

Mr. Saad Hariri MP

has very kindly offered a donation toward the cost of organizing the November 2008 Archaeological Symposium to be held in Beirut.

The Lebanese British Friends of the National Museum would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Hariri for such a generous and altruistic gesture.
