As the so-called Islamic State continues destroying historical sites in cities under its control, the British Museum plans to open two galleries for its Islamic artifacts to dispel misconceptions surrounding the faith.

The new galleries will contain extensive collection of art from the Islamic world. According to residents, ISIL militants destroyed archaeological monuments at Mosul (Nineveh) Museum, including the famous winged Assyrian bull.
