IMHO to ukradli dobre :-). Aspon tak, ze nam to zachovali. Mozna, ze kdyby to tam zustalo, dopadlo by to hur.
Jinak ruzni lvi z te brany se "potuluji" jeste v jinych institucich :-):
A reconstruction of the Ishtar gate and Processional Way was built at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin out of material excavated by Robert Koldeway and finished in the 1930s. It includes the inscription plaque. It stands 47 feet high and 32 feet wide (14 meters by 10 meters). The excavation ran from 1902-1914.
Parts of the gate and lions from the Processional Way are in various other museums around the world. Only two museums acquired dragons while lions went to several museums. The Istanbul Archaeology Museum has lions, dragons and bulls. The Detroit Institute of Arts houses a dragon; the Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Oriental Institute in Chicago, Rhode Island School of Design Museum, the Museum of Fine Art in Boston each have lions.
A reproduction of the gate was built in Iraq as the entrance to a museum that was never completed. |
