National Museum of Aleppo, Archaeological museum in Aleppo, Syria.
The museum spans across two floors with dedicated sections for prehistoric cultures, ancient Syrian civilizations, classical remnants, and Islamic artifacts.
Founded in 1931 in an Ottoman palace, the museum relocated to a larger facility in 1966 following designs by Yugoslav architects Zdravko Bregovac and Vjenceslav Richter.
The ground floor exhibits include the oldest known human shelter from Mureybet and numerous artifacts from archaeological sites like Mari, Ugarit, and Tell Halaf.
The museum features multiple exhibition halls organized chronologically, with the ground floor dedicated to ancient civilizations and the upper floor to classical and Islamic periods.
The entrance displays an Iron Age Neo-Hittite temple gateway with a female sphinx from the 9th century BC, originating from Tell Halaf.
