The Baghdadi Museum is a cultural center in Baghdad, Iraq that showcases the history, art, and traditions of Baghdad through the ages, from its foundation in the 8th century onwards. It's situated in a traditional Baghdadi house near the Al-Mustansiriya School, on the banks of the Tigris River. The museum includes various galleries that depict life in Baghdad during different historical periods, using life-size figures in traditional Iraqi costumes and exhibits of artifacts that provide a window into the past. The museum also features a gallery dedicated to the Jewish community that was once prominent in Baghdad. Restorations to some parts of the museum have been made following the looting and damage it sustained in the aftermath of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The Baghdadi Museum is an important institution for preserving Iraq's rich heritage and serves as an educational resource for locals and tourists alike.
