Musée de Mossoul

Remarkable for its architecture and collections, the Mosul Cultural Museum is the second most important in Iraq after the one in Baghdad. Since its foundation in 1952 and until its destruction by Daesh in 2015, its history is intimately linked to that of Mosul and its region. The museum, like the city, is now facing the challenges of reconstruction in order to be reborn as a highly symbolic place where the multi-millennial and multi-cultural history of Mosul and Iraq could be discovered.
