An Age of Luxury: The Assyrians to Alexander

After loaning a dozen mummies to the Museum of History last summer, the British Museum returns with an exhibition showcasing luxury goods from 900 to 300 BC. This rare collection highlights more than 200 artefacts crafted by the Assyrians, Babylonians, Achaemenids and other lands eventually conquered by Alexander the Great. Visit the exhibition to learn how rich folk used to live it large.
