Israeli Exhibit Opens at the Louvre
The first official Israeli exhibit will debut at the Louvre Museum in Paris tomorrow – a 1,700-year-old mosaic discovered in Lod, Israel.
The impressive artwork was discovered by the Israel Antiquities Authority during an archaeological excavation in 1996 and fully excavated and removed in 2009. The well-preserved mosaic floor measures about 180 square meters and includes detailed pictures of mammals, birds, fish, plants, and merchant vessels.
