Yemen's national museum opens two-week display of loot artefacts

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. Al Jazeera’s Um-e-Kulsoom Shariff reports.
