Lack of money hinders Iraqi museum

While Iraq is often described by historians as the "cradle of civilization", many of its ancient treasures were looted in the chaos following the US led invasion in 2003.
For the past few years, Iraq has been working on recovering its stolen treasures. This month alone, the Iraqi museum in Baghdad, received more than a one thousand artifacts which were previously on display. But there has been a lack of funding from the government, and half of the museum's galleries remain inaccessible to the public.
