Courtesy US Department of StateThe former director general of the Iraqi National Museum, Dr. Donny George Youkhanna, will give two presentations in the Twin Cities this November.
The first presentation, “Mesopotamia: The Beginning of Civilization,” will focus on the archaeology and cultural history of Iraq. It will take place on Wednesday, November 12 from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. in Sundin Music Hall, on Hamline University’s Saint Paul campus.
The second presentation, “Looting of the Iraq Museum: The Loss of a Nation’s Memory,” will focus on the status of the Iraqi museum, the restitution of antiquities from other countries, and the ongoing looting of Iraq’s archaeological sites. A panel discussion will follow. It will also take place on November 12. It will be held from 6:00-8:30 p.m. at the Weisman Art Museum on the University of Minnesota’s Minneapolis campus.
Both events are free and open to the public. More information about the events can be found here.

I don't see a problem here. Science often transcends political boundaries and ideologies.
