The Conflict Museum

The museum was supposed to house permanent and special exhibitions on Libya’s unique history, telling the story of campaigns and conflicts that have shaped the country from colonial power to independent state. Permanent exhibitions would have included galleries documenting the country’s historic evolution with large-scale exhibits (lower ground floor), the uprising against repression (first floor) and its history of revolution (second floor). The museum would have included exhibits on reconciliation and remembrance as well as a congress space on the top floor, which would have focused on dialogue, tolerance and communication. The construction of the Conflict Museum in Tripoli was envisaged to begin sometime before September 2009, and was hoped to be finished by the end of 2011. By the time the February Operation was nearing its expected end, as war-torn Libyans were left to pick up the pieces and heal their deepest wounds without "any means", the scheduled deadline for the conflict museum to open was lost in the conflict. Initially, it has setup this page (just with the above information) in anticipation of the opening, but due to the war the museum project was never completed. This means that the museum does not exist in the real world yet.

Instead of leaving its online museum vacant, Temehu.com took a step further to occupy the museum (for the time being) with factual conflict information, war imagery and damage inflicted for freedom & chaos; and chose 11/11/2011 the day to open the online war museum in remembrance of this historic year –  the 11th year of the third millennium that dearly transformed Libya in so many ways. It has also included photos from Misrata's War Museum – one of the new war museums that sprung up in the spring after the February War. The Dictator's Crimes Museum, in Benghazi, is housed inside the palace from which King Idris was made to declare the fake independence of Libya in 1951.
