They started the conservation work late last year and the mosaics are due to go on show in a purpose built museum in the next month or so. I take people over to Leptis every couple of months so I'll keep an eye on the situation.
Went last weekend. The new museum building is finished and looks ready to open. Some mosaics have been mounted on the exterior walls (geometric patterns with finely detailed portraits in the centre, a scene of homonculi fighting) and the large, fine mosaics are mounted in side. Going again first week of december so hopfully it'll be open and I can get some pictures.
Went to the amphitheatre at Sabratha yesterday for a picnic. 8)
