Shadi Saleem was finally able to see his dream come true when a small museum exhibiting his two decades' collection was unveiled. Located in Sweida Province in southern Syria, the museum was built by Saleem next to his house and connected to it by a backdoor. Upon entering the museum, there is a small hall that features a giant old stone pot surrounded by ancient agricultural tools and wooden wheels, which was once usd to herd livestock on farms.
