Supporters
The Friends of Basrah Museum’s current work on the Basrah Museum Project is supported by a large Cultural Protection Fund grant awarded in December 2016 and extended in January 2019. The grant funding is managed by the British Council in partnership with the Department for Digital, Culture Media & Sport (DCMS).
The first phase of the project was made possible through the generosity of the following donors without whom the installation of the Basrah Gallery would not have been possible.
