BRITISH MUSEUM: Priceless ASSYRIAN treasures (London)

British Museum - the Assyrian collection, the Assyrian antiquities at the British Museum in London. Assyrian sculptures at the British Museum, London. Let's travel to London and let's visit the British Museum and the galleries containing treasures and monuments from ancient Assyria. At the British Museum, we will see large stone sculptures and reliefs were a striking feature of the palaces and temples of ancient Assyria (modern northern Iraq). Visit Rooms 6a and 6b of the British Museum to see two colossal Assyrian winged human-headed lions that flanked an entrance to the royal palace of King Ashurnasirpal II (883–859 BC) at Nimrud. Plus, see a gigantic Assyrian standing lion that stood at the entrance to the nearby Temple of Ishtar, the goddess of war. These Assyrian sculptures are displayed alongside fragments and replicas of the huge bronze gates of Shalmaneser III (858–824 BC) from Balawat. A Black Obelisk also on display shows the same king receiving tribute from Israel and is displayed with obelisks and stelae (vertical inscribed stone slabs) from four generations of Assyrian kings. The mighty Assyrian empire began as the small city-state of Ashur in what is now the north-eastern region of Iraq. It first asserted control over a large area in the 14th century BC, but by the 12th century BC it had collapsed. The British Museum, in the Bloomsbury area of London, United Kingdom, is a public institution dedicated to human history, art and culture. Its permanent collection of some eight million works is among the largest and most comprehensive in existence, having been widely sourced during the era of the British Empire. #BritishMuseum #museum #VicStefanu
