The Museum of Libya is a museum located in Tripoli, Libya. [1] [2] It was originally built as the Royal Palace, completed in 1939. [3] It was later used by King Idris during his reign. It then became known as the "People's Palace" after the fall of Ghaddafi. [1]

In modern times, it is a multimedia museum focused on "Edutainment". [4] Most projection screens are walls of fog being generated from above from tap water, allowing visitors to walk straight through them. [3]
