The Lebanese newspaper The Daily Star shared this artists rendering of the upcoming Sidon archaeology museum.
The museum will be built at the Frère site, where British Museum-run excavations have exposed several millennia of history over the past fourteen field seasons. The exhibit will feature artifacts from Sidon reaching back as far as the fourth millennium B.C.E., and museum developers hope the new construction will help shape the city’s narrative by tying together a diverse range of local cultures and Mediterranean influences.
