Museum in Syria. It is housed in an 18th century Ottoman governors residence (Azem Palace). The giant basalt lion statue sitting in the hall of Hama National Museum is a wonder of archaeology and sculpture that tells the story of three thousand years of human civilization.
Other remains in the exhibition include a precious Roman mosaic from the nearby village of Mariamin (4th century AD)
Note: 3000-Year-Old Archaeological Lion Statue Bears Witness to Human Civilization
