Damascus, Aug 25 (Prensa Latina) The Syrian Department of Antiquities and Museums launched on Monday an urgent project for the comprehensive rehabilitation of the National Museum of Damascus, considered one of the oldest and most important institutions in the region.

Cultural authorities stated that this project is part of efforts to preserve and revitalize the nation’s cultural heritage and is being carried out in partnership with the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

The sources, cited by SANA, added that the museum will undergo a modernization process that includes improving security systems, optimizing storage and documentation spaces, and digitizing the Syrian documentary collection, to guarantee its preservation and facilitate its national and international access.
