National Museum of Iraq

The National Museum of Iraq, located in Baghdad, is one of the most significant archaeological museums in the world. Established in the early 20th century, it houses an extensive collection of artifacts from ancient Mesopotamia, including items from Babylon and Assyria. The museum showcases artifacts like pottery, jewelry, and sculptures that highlight the region's rich history and culture. It is a key institution for understanding human civilization's development, particularly in one of its earliest cradles. Despite suffering damage in conflicts, efforts are ongoing to restore and protect its invaluable collection.
