{"Image ImageDescription": "Iraqis tour on January 29, 2019 a contemporary art exhibition at one of the halls of the national museum of the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, which served as the Islamic State (IS) group's brutal seat of power for three years, before Iraqi troops recaptured it in 2017. - Mosul's celebrated museum has not recovered since IS jihadists ravaged its ancient treasures several years ago, but part of the complex reopened today to showcase more modern art. For the first time since IS overran the Iraqi city in 2014, visitors on could wander the grandiose royal reception hall, which formed part of the museum.
