The exhibition in the Ionic Hall of the Museum of Fine Arts is the first in Hungary dedicated to ancient Mesopotamia. One of the outstanding strengths of our exhibition is that it brings together more than 150 objects loaned by seven prominent European collections, offering unparalleled insight into the world of this long-lost culture. The Budapest exhibition concentrates on the Mesopotamian world in the first half of the first millennium BC, where the earliest empires in history emerged: the Neo-Assyrian and the Neo-Babylonian Empires. We hope that the exhibition will be of interest not only to experts on the ancient Near East, but also to anyone with an interest in art, literature, or religion, and that it will bring the world of ancient Mesopotamia closer to the younger generations.
