Friends of Basrah Museum

The Friends of Basrah Museum (FOBM) is a UK registered Charity founded in 2010 to assist with the establishment of a new museum in Basrah, Iraq, dedicated to the archaeological and historical inheritance of Basrah in particular and Iraq in general and to foster the study of the cultural heritage of the Basrah region and more generally southern Iraq. In September 2016 the first Gallery of the Museum opened, generously funded by BP and other companies and individuals.
