Grant Description

To support documentation and training in the management of archaeological collections at the World Heritage Site of Cyrene in modern Shahat.

A fraction of the museums holdings currently are on display; there is no comprehensive inventory, nor have artifacts been assessed for conservation needs.

This project, which continues a previous project supported by the Ambassadors Fund in 2005, involves an inventory or artifacts and training in museum management.
