A major international exhibit on ancient Mesopotamia will be coming to Toronto’s Royal Ontario Museum next year. The exhibit, called “The Wonders of Ancient Mesopotamia” will feature artifacts now in the British Museum and will run from June 22, 2013 – January 5, 2014.
Centred in modern day Iraq and spreading into Syria, Turkey and Iran, Mesopotamian civilization saw the rise of the world’s earliest cities and the development of a system of cuneiform writing more than 5,000 years ago.
