The National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden is bringing Nineveh to life for its visitors. The exhibition ‘Nineveh – Heart of an Ancient Empire’ presents the heyday of the New Assyrian capital in what is now northern Iraq, around 700 BCE by showing more than 250 objects from Dutch and international museums such as the Louvre and the British Museum, including reliefs, statues, clay tablets, and cylinder seals. Of particular interest are the large reliefs from the city palaces and the reconstruction of one of the rooms in the palace of King Sennacherib.
