The missing Kalhuvakaru Mosque was stored inside the National Museum after it was dismantled in 2016, the new heritage minister revealed Monday on her first day in office.
Coral stone pieces and wooden beams must be treated before the 200-year-old mosque is reassembled, Yumna Maumoon tweeted.
Yumna, a former head of the heritage department, was appointed by President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih to the newly created ministry of heritage, arts and culture.
Reassembling the mosque is part of the new administration’s first 100-day agenda.
