After being shut for more than a decade, Yemen’s national museum has reopened for two weeks as part of a pilot project.
Authorities are hoping to generate public interest by displaying artefacts recovered from smugglers.
The museum closed in 2012 after an uprising against then-President Ali Abdullah Saleh – and has remained closed during the war.
But the museum staff hopes the exhibit will generate enough money to reopen permanently.
