The Iraq National Museum was founded by British tourist and writer Gertrude Bell and began operation in 1926. Its original name was the Baghdad Archaeological Museum. It was relocated to the Arava region in 1966 and expanded in 1983. It is divided into 7 parts and 28 exhibition halls. The Iraq National Museum is listed as one of the 11 largest museums in the world by UNESCO. It houses about 250,000 precious historical relics, covering all historical periods of Iraq from the Stone Age 100,000 years ago to the mid-19th century. The museum also houses more than 70,000 rare books in various languages ​​and about 6,000 unique manuscripts. In terms of popularity and collection, especially in terms of archaeological excavations of early human civilization, only the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo can be compared with it in the Middle East.

When I landed in Iraq, I was both excited and worried. I was excited because I could get involved in a new country, but I was worried that the unstable political situation might be blown up at any time. After landing, Iraq was really no different from other Middle Eastern countries. It was just that it was devastated from the perspective of CCTV, which made people sigh. There were no ruins everywhere, no destitute people, and no gunfire.

I was fortunate to go to the Iraq National Museum in my spare time and feel the earliest history of the Mesopotamian region. Its heavy and yet boring stories really made people linger in the museum. If you are lucky enough to go, remember to find a local English-speaking partner to accompany you, or you can connect the history of the Mesopotamian region, and then walk into this small-looking, huge museum.

I don&rsquo;t know the opening hours of the museum, but the closing time is 14:30, so you must go. The ticket price for foreigners is about 150 yuan.
