The
Idlib
Museum
is
located
in
the
city
of
Idlib
in
northwestern
Syria.
It
was
established
in
1987
and
is
considered
one
of
the
most
important
museums
in
Syria.
It
has
been
restored
and
improved,
and
an
amount
of
one
million
euros
has
been
allocated
to
renovate
the
museum.
It
contains
the
antiquities
of
the
Idlib
Governorate
region,
especially
the
most
important
antiquities
of
the
Tal
Mardikh
area,
in
which
the
ancient
city
of
Ebla
is
located.
In
general,
the
museum
includes
the
harvest
of
excavation
missions
working
in
the
governorate
at
the
sites
of
Ebla,
Dahes,
Tell
Al-Karkh,
Tell
Mastumah,
Tell
Afes,
and
the
tombs
of
Saraqib.
The
antiquities
were
displayed
in
chronological
order,
starting
from
the
third
millennium
BC
until
the
Islamic
eras,
and
a
wing
was
dedicated
to
popular
traditions
in
the
governorate.
The
museum
has
a
section
for
preserving
all
the
pottery
tablets
of
the
Royal
Library
in
Ebla,
organized,
classified,
and
preserved
in
a
precise
scientific
manner,
making
them
easily
accessible
for
the
study
carried
out
by
an
international
team
that
publishes
the
results
of
its
studies
in
yearbooks
issued
in
Rome.
These
studies
have
changed
much
of
the
private
information
about
the
history
of
the
Old
Testament.
(The
Torah).
The
museum,
which
consists
of
two
floors,
includes
a
number
of
galleries
in
which
antiquities
are
displayed
in
a
logical
historical
sequence
that
begins
with
the
modern
era
and
ends
with
prehistoric
times.
On
the
first
floor:
The
display
took
place
in
three
pavilions
starting
from
1-
The
Popular
Traditions
Pavilion:
which
includes
many
exhibits
that
express
the
folklore
of
Idlib
Governorate,
such
as
swords,
Arabian
coffee
dals,
hookahs,
the
wooden
mahbaj
for
grinding
coffee,
the
portafilter
and
roaster
for
roasting
coffee,
and
inlaid
wooden
boxes.
With
seashells
to
store
clothes,
dishes,
pots,
and
copperware.
Followed
by
two
examples
of
the
glass
and
pottery
kilns
for
which
the
governorate
is
famous.
On
the
opposite
front,
models
of
weapons
such
as
swords
and
pistols
were
displayed,
as
were
beautiful
models
of
glassware
in
seven
display
cabinets.
Next
to
this
wing
is
2-The
Modern
Art
Hall:
which
includes
many
wall
art
paintings
and
statues
belonging
to
Syrian
artists
and
artists
from
the
province.
3-
The
Islamic
Wing:
where
various
treasures
of
gold
and
silver
coins
dating
back
to
various
Islamic
centuries
were
displayed,
starting
with
the
Umayyad
period,
then
the
Abbasid
period,
then
the
Mamluk
period,
then
the
Ayyubid
period,
and
finally
the
Ottoman
period.
In
addition
to
the
pottery
and
glass
displays,
there
are
two
manuscripts,
the
first
of
which
is
of
the
Holy
Qur’an
and
is
about
750
years
old,
and
the
second
is
also
of
the
Holy
Qur’an,
but
it
is
annotated
in
Turkish
and
is
about
250
years
old.
After
completing
the
folk
traditions
pavilion,
the
modern
art
pavilion,
and
the
Islamic
pavilion,
we
receive
the
classical
pavilion.
4The
Classic
Wing:
It
includes
twelve
cabinets
in
which
antiquities
of
the
Roman
and
Byzantine
period
are
displayed,
including
glass,
bronze,
and
copper
exhibits,
in
addition
to
Roman,
Byzantine,
and
even
Greek
coins
(Alexander
the
Great),
in
addition
to
a
number
of
stone
statues.
The
hall's
floor
is
decorated
with
a
group
of
beautiful
mosaic
paintings
that
contain
extremely
beautiful
geometric
and
animal
shapes.
After
our
eyes
enjoyed
the
beauty,
splendor
and
grandeur
of
the
antiquities
on
the
first
floor,
we
went
up
to
the
second
floor
to
see
what
treasures
it
held
on
its
floor.
Second
floor:
Ascending
to
the
upper
floor,
we
see
Ebla’s
suite,
in
which
it
was
displayed
