Most of the antiquities came from German archaeological excavations in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Objects came from Egypt, Greece, Rome and the Near East.
The most impressive exhibit is the Ishtar Gate and Processional Street of Babylon – which was built under King Nebuchadnezzar CII (605 – 562 BC). The Gate is almost 5-storeys tall and features blue tiles with beautiful relief decorations.
