Tunis — An itinerary exhibit dubbed "The Legacy of Carthage", will travel to Japan and remain on display from May 2009 to May 2010.
The exhibit is the result of an agreement signed at the Ministry of Culture and Heritage Preservation between the National Heritage Institute and the Japanese film producing company "Toei". The signing ceremony was chaired by the Minister of Culture, Mr Abderraouf El Basti in the presence of Japan's Ambassador in Tunisia, Mr Shigeru Endo.
It is expected that the exhibit will promote Tunisian culture and civilization in Japan, as well as showcasing the vibrancy of the Tunisian cultural scene.
The itinerary exhibit will comprise some 150 works dating from the Punic and Roman era, notably jewels, objects in ceramics, statues and rare mosaics.
The Japanese TV and animation company "Toei" specializes in the holding of cultural events destined to promote the world heritage.
