Project summary

Paying particular attention to agricultural practices along the cultural route of ‘Abraham’s Path’, the project focused on the collection and preservation of tangible heritage objects related to agriculture and nature.

In addition, heritage records relating to these areas were identified and documented. The project also built the capacity of researchers, local guides and museum staff and enhanced the profile of the museum among the public through awareness-raising events.
