About this place

The collection runs from the first farming villages of the Zagros, such as Jarmo, through Assyrian and Babylonian pieces to Islamic-era objects, with clay tablets that researchers still publish from. Labels are in Kurdish, Arabic and English. It is small enough for an hour and a good first stop before the mountains.
