renovation works of the two Yemeni lion bronze statues in the Lovere Museum.
The ambassador praised, during the inspection visit, the Yemeni-French cooperation in the field of antiquities and museums, noting the historical specialty of the bronze statues of the two lions which were sent to Paris in January 2009.
This kind of cooperation comes with the agreement signed between the General Organization for Antiquities and Museums (GOAM) and the Lovere Museum in 2006 in cooperation with the French embassy in Sana'a.
Worth to mention, another Yemeni statue was renovated last year in Paris and is currently exhibited in the National Museum in Sana'a.
