Link and Learn: Tales from the Temple of Ishtar (Zoom Virtual Event)

Friday, September 16 at 7:00pm.

Discovered in the ruins of the Temple of Ishtar, the priceless golden Ishtar Tablet vanished in the post-WWII turmoil, only to resurface in 2003 in a Nassau County, NY safe deposit box when its owner died. Attorney Raymond J. Dowd recounts his historic landmark victory representing the museum, in which he succeeded not only in recovering the priceless 3200-year-old Assyrian artifact but also overturning the spoils of war doctrine, reaffirming the common law rule that no one can take good title to stolen property. If you missed the presentation this summer, join us!
