Baghdad Muesem

 

To retain Baghdad's history, BM has built Baghdad's museum to register honestly and objectively some era of the capital's history in order that the current and future offspring could see how their ancestors lived, what their jobs were, how the families practiced their customs and what their domestic devices were.

In 1968, BM has founded the folklore and local museum that contains most of the Baghdadi life's characteristics. A work team was instructed to make some dummies distributed on 45 scenes in the museum represent artisans of Baghdad.

After all work was done, Baghdad museum was opened on (1st, Jan, 1970) in its current location at Tigris river bank near al Mustansiyria school. Many of the various social levels paid attention to this museum and many famous political figures and delegations visited it.

In 1985, it has been rehabilitated and the Baghdadi bazaar and lane which contained 39 new scenes were erected including 107 new figures did not exist before. Now, it contains (385) dummies distributed on 77 scenes with all the accessories, which the scene needs. The existing building of Baghdad's museum is one the ancient buildings as it was erected in Ottoman's era in 1869.
