Gaza archaeology exhibition in Paris

NOW OPEN: New Gaza archaeology exhibit opens in Paris, as most sites in enclave severely damaged. Artifacts on display include findings from Franco-Palestinian excavations initiated in Gaza in 1995, as well as items from the collection of Gazan real estate magnate Jawdat Khoudary (ROSSELLA TERCATIN, Times of Israel).

Titled “Rescued Treasures of Gaza: 5000 Years of History,” the exhibition is hosted by the Institut du Monde Arabe (Institute for the Arab World) and organized in partnership with the Museum of Art and History of Geneva (MAH) and the Palestinian National Authority.

Running from April 3 to November 2, 2025, the Institut du Monde Arabe is exhibiting what it calls “an exceptional collection featuring 130 archaeological masterpieces, each bearing witness to the vibrant and millennia-old history of this Palestinian enclave,” in a statement provided to The Times of Israel (the Institute did not respond to multiple requests for an interview with one of its representatives).
