Story highlights At Mosul Museum, ISIS uses vandalism to make a statementBut ISIS may not have destroyed quite as much as it thinks(CNN) To get inside Mosul's museum, you no longer enter through the main entrance, flanked by the capitals of ancient columns. Instead, you scramble over a pile of rubble and duck through a jagged hole in the wall. You also might want to wear a flak jacket and a helmet, because the museum is just a few blocks from the front line in west Mosul. Once you enter, you're confronted with mounds of rubble. In typical ISIS fashion, this madness has been edited to include pious songs about idol-smashing in the name of God.
