Treasures

The Treasures Department works to build the exhibitions on display at The Museum on the topics of ethnography, Judaica, and the history of Iraqi Jewry. The Museum of Babylonian Jewry possesses a rich ethnographic collection, Judaica and artwork as well as original documents and photographs which were donated or loaned over the years by Jews of Iraqi ethnicity or their heirs. These items make up the basis of the museum’s activity, as they shed light upon the history and uses, and indirectly, about the culture and customs of the communities from which they originated.
