The digital map displays a collection of historic mosaic panels located throughout the nation in a designated room inside the museum.
The map is activated to disclose comprehensive information about the locations and histories of each piece as soon as the visitor selects a specific position and places his foot there.
Russian tourist Katrina Baginskaya remarked, “For me, it was extremely fun because I am only specialised in mosaics, but I also saw something new.”
There is currently no opportunity to visit Ma’rat al-Numan, and not all mosaics are on display in the Damascus Museum, so what I saw here on this interactive map caught my attention. It is possible to say that there is something else I discovered, and this is the secret to its beauty, as it can accommodate both the needs of the existing audience and the needs of the new audience.
In addition to 7500 images with information on the history, size, and placement of each board, the map includes an archive with more than 365 mosaic paintings.
“In the future, an important presumption will be in the event of a seizure, smuggling, or illegal trade in these doors, especially in the disputed areas at the present time, this information will be a very important presumption to restore these pieces and bring them again To the motherland,” said Firas Daduh, head of the museum development department.
