The Semitic Museum is one of the Harvard University Museums, housing
collections of archaeological materials from the Ancient Near East. Our
current exhibits explore everyday life in ancient Israel during the Iron
Age; a 2nd millennium BCE Hurrian city, located in modern-day Iraq; and
the history of ancient Cyprus through ceramics and metal objects. You
will find links to these exhibits above, as well as links to other information
on the Museum, our activities, and helpful tips for visitors. As
always, all exhibits are free and open to the public.
