#1 A state of war is immenent. A resposible curator would probably arrange to have highly valuble artifacts stored away for safekeeping and protection? A Baathist curator might pack everything away for easy safe shipping/looting?

Just Asking.

Can anyone remember anything about the state of the museum after the bombing of Baghdad in the first Gulf War?

#2 I remember hearing that the museum has been closed to the public for years, possibly since Gulf War I. That would be plenty of time to get stuff out of there before anyone would notice it's gone.

#3 It was on the "no hit" list. Though the door did get dented by shrapnel when the comms center across the street was boomed.
