Libyan Update from the Virtual Annual Meeting: Museums in a Suitcase
Museums in a Suitcase: Recent Successes and Future Prospects
Ms. Intisar Elarebi (Libyan Department of Antiquities)
At a time when museums around Libya remain closed to the public, the Museum in a Suitcase project has enabled ongoing outreach activities for children and students of diverse ages around the country, enlisting them in efforts to protect cultural heritage sites. This paper focuses on outcomes from different types of suitcases, including those focused on both tangible and intangible heritage, as well as those targeting individuals with special needs. Reflecting on the key elements necessary for the successful deployment of these suitcases, this work charts a course for expanding the network of these suitcases and the scope of material with which they engage.
