From Gilgamesh to Zenobia (KMKG, Brussels, 20-2-2008)

Rating:★★★★★

Antiquities from the Near East and Iran.

It's always interesting to see objects from one of the cradles of our western civilization. This is where a lot of our stories, art, laws and language originate from! And I just love cuneiform ;-)

It's great exhibit with lots of interesting stuff and information. I didn't read much about the mythical characters in the title (Gilgamesh and Zenobia) but maybe I just missed that (it's easy to find information about them on the internet anyway).
There is a lot of information on the history of archeology of the Near East which is quite interesting!

I saw a lot of inspiring objects I had not seen in a long time and had almost forgotten about. Definitely worth a visit!
