THEMATIC EXHIBITION

Trade, rivers and global networks

Follow Baghdad and Basra through commerce, river geography and transregional Jewish networks.

Historical context

Trade, rivers and global networks

Baghdadi Jewish commercial networks extended far beyond Iraq, while Basra connected river and port economies to the Gulf and Indian Ocean world. This learning path uses place records as anchors for that wider network rather than reducing commerce to one building.
