Sudan's national museum in Khartoum, extensively plundered in the early months of the country's war, has been digitally recreated, offering a virtual experience to preserve its lost heritage. This initiative by the French Archaeological Unit for Sudanese Antiquities (SFDAS) allows visitors to explore over 1,000 artifacts online, providing a vital record of its once-vast collection.

• Almost nothing remains of the museum's original 100,000 artifacts, with only heavy pieces like the Kush Pharaoh Taharqa statue remaining on-site.
• The project, supported by the Louvre and Britain's Durham University, aims to bolster Interpol's efforts against the trafficking of stolen heritage.
• The virtual museum, online since January 1, will fully complete its recreation, including the famed "Gold Room," by the end of 2026.
