The alley exhibited in the Museum is a reconstruction of one of the side-streets in the Jewish Quarter of Baghdad at the beginning of the 20th century. Here one can see typical houses with their overhanging balconies, and workshops on the lower levels demonstrating all kinds of industries. There is a Tel embroidery workshop displaying clothes and various hand-craft. Further on are gold and silversmith workshops showing the various stages of the craft up to the finished objects. Along the alley one comes across colorful cloth and spice dealers' shops and a reconstructed Baghdadi Jewish coffee house. |
