Vorderasiatisches Museum Berlin

It is in the basement of the south wing of the Pergamon Museum and has one of the world's largest collections of Southwest Asian art.

14 halls distributed across 2,000 square meters of exhibition surface display southwest Asian culture spanning six millennia.

Excavations in historically important cities like Uruk, Shuruppak, Assur, Hattusha, Tell el Amarna, Tell Halaf (Guzana), Sam'al, Toprakkale and Babylon built the foundation of the museum's collection.

The museum also has an important number of Southwest Asian stamp and cylinder seals, as well as cuneiform texts.
