Open Bethlehem is consolidating efforts to step up its activities from 2008. We intend to carry out a series of international tours, focusing first on the States. Our hopes for the future include an on-line museum to tell the story of Bethlehem, using images, archeological evidence, written testimonies and extracts from contemporary sources to reveal the many layers of one of the oldest, continually inhabited cities in the world. We are working to bring an international music concert to Bethlehem as well as other projects aimed at keeping Bethlehem open against the odds.
