Thank for the citations. There's an interesting 4 page article in the March
2003 issue of Architectural Review. (p.32+) Entitled: "Letter from
Baghdad,"
by Dan Cruickshank. Believe it or not, there's a small photo of a
"Disneyland" in Mosul, showing Mickey pumping gas, with a smiling Saddam
behind him!

Dear Kay and everyone
Here are other exhibition catalogues of treasures from the
National Museum of Iraq in Bagdad - alas former treasures.
Mesopotamsk kultur ghennon 10.000 ar. National Gallery, Oslo (May
14-August 1,1977)
36 pages, 12 illustrations
Schatze aus dem Irak von der Fruhzeit bis zum
Islam. Wallraf-Richartz-Museum, Cologne (June 27-Sept. 20,1964)
115 pages, 80 illustrations, 6 in colour
Exhibition of Tigris-Euphrates civilization. National Museum, Tokyo (March
1-April 14,1974)
150 pages, mostly coloured illustrations
And, I would add to your excellent comments on the situation, that I am
glad there are some treasures from the ancient middle east civilizations
preserved with more regard to their value at the British Museum, the
Ashmolean Museum, Harvard and some other locations. Disregard for heritage
or culture is reminiscent of the destruction of the great Buddhas in
Afghanistan.

I
began to wonder if a catalog of its collections had ever been published at
any
point in its history. A search of WoCat using the authorized name of the
museum (Mat haf al-Iraqi) doesn't bring up anything. An article in the Sun.
NYTimes, "Pillagers Strip Iraqi Museum of its Treasure," refers to the
exhibition catalog, "Silk Road Civilizations" (held in Nara, Japan in 1988)
in
which items from the museum were featured.
