The 'Art and Empire: Assyrian Treasures from the British Museum', can be seen at the MARQ.

The British Museum is showing 230 Assyrian treasures dating from the 7-8th centuries B.C. at the Alicante Archaelogical Museum until September 30.

The exhibition has already been seen in New York, Mexico, Copenhagen and Shanghai.

Famous battles are shown in some of the best relieves on display, with most of the items actually belonging to Iraq.

Andrew Burnet, Deputy Director of the British Museum, described the show as ‘one of the best and best presented archaeological exhibitions produced by the British Museum, outside the circuit of the grand museums’.
