Founded in 2018 by Iraqi poet and artist Salah Hitani in Karbala, the Salah Hitani Museum houses one of Iraq’s largest and most diverse private collections of sculptures and plastic artworks by both Iraqi and international artists. As a non-profit institution, it seeks to highlight art’s historical impact and document Iraq’s artistic heritage, including works from the beginning of the plastic movement in the late 19th century to the present. The museum hosts continuous exhibitions, aiming to broaden aesthetic appreciation in a society that is constantly witnessing crises and conflict, fostering a deeper engagement with art beyond consumerism.
