Ancient Statues Returned from France to Syria

Ancient statues and column heads returned from France to Syria.

Project Overview

Capit managed the return of ancient statues and column heads from France to a museum in Syria, a project combining technical protection with deep cultural responsibility. Each object was assessed, documented, and packed around its material, weight, and condition before departure. The route required coordinated customs clearance, supervised handovers, and installation planning at the destination. A dedicated photography and documentation protocol recorded every phase of the journey, from first assessment in France to final placement in the museum.
