The Baghdad Clock is a public building located in the Green Zone, in Baghdad, Iraq. Prior to 2003 the building was employed as a museum and featured a large clock tower. However, the building was heavily damaged during the 2003 invasion of Iraq.[1] It was reconstructed later and is now the seat of the Supreme Court of Iraq.[citation needed]

The building's museum has seven halls where gifts given to former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein are displayed.[2]
