Overall though it is an incredibly beautiful space with stone etched interpretation panels, well produced sounds capes and narrations. It's bite sized archaeology, which enables you take time to get a sense of the thing you are looking at, or pop into to soak up the atmosphere in a hectic day.🏺📜🏛

The archaeological history of the site can be found online rather than in building. The oral histories of the discovery is a great project and fantastic resource to explore public perceptions of our discipline 70+ years ago compared to new discoveries today.

Displaying more finds from the site itself as part of the temple level (not in but cases along the sides) might have added some more detail and understanding? The only finds were as you entered and more 'a variety of material' rather than use of the site.

The immersive experience was interesting and offered some interpretation of how the space may have felt or sounded like during rites and festivals. But it somehow felt lacking to me.

Hidden women of history: Ennigaldi-Nanna, curator of the world’s first museum
Ennigaldi-Nanna is largely unknown in the modern day. But in 530BC, this Mesopotamian priestess worked to arrange and label various artefacts in the world’s first museum.
