The exhibition aims to provide visitors with a firsthand insight into the Palestinian experience, calling on viewers to stand for justice, humanity, and truth.
The collection serves as a reminder of Palestine’s historical presence and cultural significance.
“Palestine Was and Will Remain” is open to the public until February 28 with visiting hours from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
