Congratulations to Basra Museum on the opening of new galleries dedicated to Babylonian, Sumerian and Assyrian antiquities. Iraq’s museums play a fundamental role in preserving our shared heritage and facilitating dialogue and understanding between our diverse communities.

Moving and heartfelt tributes for our trustee and friend Lamia Al Gailani Werr. She is much missed but her spirit lives on in her many, many achievements and the countless people she inspired.
