À propos
Faits rapides: Over 12,000 artifacts from antiquity and the Roman era are exhibited here, including clay tablets with cuneiform from the Bronze Age city of Emar. Many exhibits come from excavations around Homs, which fascinatingly brings the region's history to life.
Points forts: The collection impresses with original pottery and jewelry handmade over 3,000 years ago, as well as one of the oldest cuneiform libraries in the world. A special treasure is an almost completely preserved clay tablet collection from the Sumerian period, which invites awe.
