The Internationally Recognized Government of Yemen has extended the right to host 80 Yemeni artifacts on temporary loan to the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Asian Art for an additional two years.
The Yemeni Embassy in Washington said that Ambassador Mohammed Al-Hadrami signed with the Director of the Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art in Washington, DC, Dr. Chase Robinson, an agreement to extend the temporary loan of 80 Yemeni artifacts for an additional two years after they are deposited in the museum in 2023.
Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism, Muammar Al-Eryani, visited the museum and took a tour of the museum's collections, which include ancient Yemeni artifacts, whether displayed to the public or stored for research, study and preservation purposes.
