.- The British Museum will restore eight ancient glass artefacts damaged in last year s Beirut port explosion, the London cultural institution announced on Tuesday. The glass vessels were shattered after 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate stored in Beirut s port caused a blast that devastated the city on August 4, 2020. Workers will piece together hundreds of glass fragments at the British Museum s conservation laboratories in London with funding from The European Fine Art Foundation (TEFAF). These objects hold immense historical, artistic and cultural significance. Their return to their rightful form is a powerful symbol of healing and resilience after disaster, said TEFAF chairman .
