Consecrated to the civilizations of Djézireh, the museum, inaugurated in 1996, showcases life in the region. It traces the rich past of this land from the Neolithic to Muslim Syria.

" See the museum in the city centre (even for anti-museums). Indeed, we finally have excellent daily scenes to imagine what life could be 3 000 to 4 000 years BC along the Euphrates in the Mari and Dura-Europos cities. The presentation of figurines, tablets, bronzes… is very well done. My recommendation: instead of épuiser to say "I was there" in Mari or Dura-Europos… I recommend spending a morning in this museum and then reaching Palmyra. " Jean-Claude Sylvestre, Paris, France.

Room 1. Rebuilding of a house of Tell Bouqras (site to the south-east of Deir ez-Zor). The main pieces are displayed in the left bedroom of the house.

Room 2. It comes from the reconstitution of a door of Tell Bderi (south of Hassaké). The objects of the Mari civilization (including cylindrical seals) and the Empire empire and beautiful jewels of Tell Brak (manufactured in 2300 BC), including some gold, are presented. It is amazing how much contemporary jewellers are still inspired by these forms today. At the centre of the passage to room 3, a showcase is devoted to the Hourrites, a non Semitic population originating in Anatolia.

Room 3. Reconstitution of Room 64 of the Royal Mari Palace. It opened on the throne hall and it was in this hall that the statue of the goddess in from vase was found. The frescoes illustrate the royal investiture (on the sides, two dates of dates harvest and, in the upper register, meeting between the king of Mari and the goddess Ishtar). On the Neo-Assyrian Djézireh, notice the door from Tell Ajaja. It is the god Lamassou, a winged bull with a human face.

The Assyrian reconstructed garden, like the rooms of the nearby windows, comes from Hard Katlimmu. Closing the room, the Dura-Europos's Nest presents copies of the paintings of the temple of Bêl. The most recent part of the museum is devoted to the inhabitants of the steppe. It is essential to reserve a little bit of its concentration to look at the valuable ethnographic data identified here.

of agreement, this museum very interesting, is very well presented.

However, I do not share the opinion you are calling: it is necessary to visit this museum AND go with DOURA-EUROPOS; although the ruins of the ancient city are not spectacular, but the walls are impressive and the view of the euphrates valley is a marvel, especially if you stay there until sunset.
