Prague to send repaired art damaged by Daesh home to Syria

  • Syrian government forces retook control of Palmyra in 2017 after the city had served as a stage for public executions, with many of its famed landmarks destroyed by Daesh
  • Inspired by previous cooperation with Sudan and Afghanistan, the museum brought the artefacts from Syria in 2022 and its team of six restorers took a year to repair them
