The Iraq Museum (Arabic: المتحف العراقي) is the national museum of Iraq, located in Baghdad. The Iraq Museum contains relics from the Mesopotamian, Abbasid, and Persian civilizations. It was looted during and after the 2003 Invasion of Iraq. Despite international efforts, only some of the stolen artifacts have been returned. After being closed for many years for restoration, the museum officially reopened in February 2015.
