Beit Beirut (Arabic: بيت بيروت, lit.'House of Beirut') is a museum and urban cultural center serving as a war memorial museum and exhibition center dedicated to portraying the history of Beirut, with a particular focus on the Lebanese Civil War. Housed in the restored Barakat building, also known as the "Yellow House," this historic landmark was designed by Lebanese pioneer architect Youssef Aftimus.
