Abd Al-Karim Qasim Museum, Historical museum on Al-Rasheed Street, Baghdad, Iraq.
The Abd Al-Karim Qasim Museum sits on Al-Rasheed Street in Baghdad and displays military uniforms, medals, documents, and personal belongings of the former Iraqi Prime Minister. The exhibits spread across five halls and provide an overview of his life and career.
The building was constructed in the late 1800s by merchant Abd al-Jabbar al-Khudairi and later repurposed as a museum. It opened to the public on February 9, 2015, as a memorial to the former government leader.
The collection features gifts from Soviet representatives and Arab dignitaries presented during Qasim's time in office. These objects reflect the diplomatic relationships he developed with different nations.
The Ministry of Tourism administers this heritage structure, so check opening hours and entry requirements before visiting. Also consider local safety conditions and any access restrictions that may apply.
An armored vehicle and personal grooming items showcase both the military and private aspects of the Prime Minister's life. These contrasts help visitors understand him as a complete person rather than just a political figure.
