Project summary
This project trained museum professionals from the Yemeni city of Taiz, equipping them with the skills necessary to document the city's damaged cultural heritage.
Training in conservation assessment was delivered to Yemeni participants, and a database was created on the state of heritage in Old Taiz.
A detailed assessment was undertaken of the condition of the National Museum in Taiz and a series of priority restoration measures were delivered on the fabric of the museum to include reconstruction of facades and interiors.
