The troubled land we know today as Iraq once was a veritable cradle of cultures, a melting pot of ideas and innovations that gave birth and shaped essential areas of knowledge like law, literature, mathematics, and so many other expressions of the human spirit.
This exhibition paints on a broad canvas with the bright colors of ingenuity, beauty and craft, of traditions of the past that resonate still today, of fabled peoples like the Sumerians, the Accadians, the Assyrians, the Babylonians, who contributed crucially to develop what is our world today, during centuries of innovation, taming nature and learning to understand it, transforming the fertile lands between the Tygris and Eufrates rivers into a complex playground for one of the most brilliant and decisive civilisations the world has ever seen.
