The artifacts on display and available for researchers to examine predate modern Middle Eastern laws preventing the export of antiquities. Instead large parts of the collection are from 19th and early 20th century digs where the frequent arrangement was to share artifacts between the country of origin and the foreign archeologists. Other collections, particularly parts of the extensive cuneiform tablet collection have been curated under agreement with the country of origin.
The museum is on the campus of the University of Chicago. Museum website (opened to the page on the cuneiform collection). More photos from the Institute here
The beer was full of bacteria, warm and slightly sour. By contemporary standards, it would have been a spoiled batch. "Hurray, Beer!" See latest comment.
