Baghdadi Museum

The museum exhibits 385 life-size model statues arranged across 77 scenes that represent daily activities and traditions of Baghdad society.

Founded in 1970, the museum occupies a nineteenth-century building near the Tigris River and reopened in 2008 after the conflicts of 2003.

The exhibition spaces present scenes of traditional ceremonies, including marriage celebrations, musical performances, and family gatherings through detailed dioramas.

Visitors can observe representations of historical trades, professions, and street life through carefully arranged displays with period-specific accessories and tools.

The collection contains detailed reconstructions of domestic settings that demonstrate how Baghdad families conducted their daily routines across different time periods.
