Tunis inaugurates national exhibition for recovered artifacts

Under the theme of “Heritage is an Invaluable Wealth”, Tunis’s City of Culture inaugurated an exhibition featuring hundreds of recovered and seized artifacts with the contribution of the National Heritage Institute and Agency for Heritage Revival and Cultural Development.

The exhibition displayed 330 artifacts selected out of 40,000 pieces that the Institute has made vigorous efforts to retrieve between 2012 and 2019.

Aiming to raise awareness of the importance of preserving this historical wealth, it showcased artifacts from different historical eras, such as the Punic, Roman, Byzantine, Islamic and modern period. The exhibits included a collection of pottery, coins, pictures, manuscripts and other miscellaneous artifacts.
