Museum in Baghdad. Established by the British traveler Gertrude Bell, the museum houses priceless treasures of Mesopotamia. Its collections are amongst the most important in the world. Although notable items were preserved in badly looted during the recent Iraqi war during the fall of the city in April 2003, the museum has only opened periodically since then. Efforts to retrieve stolen items have involved international governments, their police agencies and UNESCO.
