Cute little museum in Erbil. Watch out for the timing as they are closed on Saturday unlike their timing on Google. We were not charged for entrance. Not sure if it was a lack of personnel or just free. It has 3 rooms with items dating from 6000 BC till 300 AD. It should take an hour max if you're being slow.
