Issa Farkash, who is today considered one of the most prominent collectors of antiquities in Libya, did not suddenly emerge in this field, but is the product of a passionate journey that has lasted for more than a quarter of a century, starting as a simple hobby, gradually evolving into an in-depth exploration of Libya’s rich history, hidden in the details of pottery, copperware, ancient cooking utensils, and even traditional costumes that reflect the authentic Libyan identity.
With technological advancement, Issa Farkash found social media to be an ideal platform for disseminating Libyan heritage, where he displays his valuable collections, sells some of them, and provides a glimpse of the ancient Libyan identity to Arab and global audiences.
