Tripoli: Libya has reopened its National Museum inside the historic Red Castle in Tripoli for the first time since the 2011 uprising that ended the rule of Muammar Gaddafi. The reopening comes after more than a decade of closure caused by conflict and instability, and is being seen as a strong symbol of cultural recovery and national rebuilding.

The Red Castle, also known as As Saraya Al Hamra, stands at the heart of Tripoli and holds some of the country’s most valuable historical treasures. The museum displays artefacts from Libya’s long and rich past, including items from prehistoric times, the Greek and Roman eras, and the Islamic period. Among the most notable exhibits are ancient mummies discovered in desert regions, offering rare insight into early life in North Africa.
