This is a fun story: 'The story behind the world’s oldest museum, built by a Babylonian princess 2,500 years ago'.
In 1925, archaeologist Leonard Woolley discovered a curious collection of artifacts while excavating a Babylonian palace. They were from many different times and places, and yet they were neatly organized and even labeled. Woolley had discovered the world's first museum.
