A thematic tour through 5000 years of history
Following the resounding success of the depository devoted to Phoenician, Levantine and Mediterranean art, the Bnu's reserve n°1 is now home to a depository devoted to the archaeology of Western Iran, thanks to loans from the Musée du Louvre.

Primarily a study object for archaeology students at the University of Strasbourg, it is nonetheless open to the general public for several months, enabling visitors to admire some one hundred pieces, treasures of this great civilization: Susa vases, cylinder seals, pearl necklaces, bricks from the palace of Darius, and terracotta figurines representing musicians.

Guided tours by prior arrangement.
