UNESCO joined with the Palestinian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities to develop a virtual museum to support distance teaching and learning processes during the COVID-19 pandemic. The virtual museum aims to present Palestinian cultural heritage through displaying selected artifacts from the Paleolithic until the end of the British Mandate period in 1948. Through a web platform and mobile application, students, teachers and researchers can learn about each historical period.
