Museum of Libya, National museum in Martyrs' Square, Tripoli, Libya
The Museum of Libya occupies a former royal palace building featuring neomoresque architecture with grand halls and exhibition spaces spread across multiple floors.
The structure transformed from King Idris's royal residence to the Museum of Libya in 2010, following its previous designation as the People's Palace during Gaddafi's era.
The museum displays numerous collections through virtual exhibits, presenting artifacts from prehistoric civilizations, classical Greco-Roman periods, and Islamic art across 47 galleries.
Located on Independence Street in central Tripoli, the museum uses modern MDF wood paneling to house electrical wiring, hydraulic tubes, and networking infrastructure.
The exhibition spaces incorporate fogscreen technology, which creates displays using microscopic water droplets as projection surfaces instead of traditional screens.
