Epic Iran at the V&A London

If books like The Primary Objective have raised your interest in Iran you may want to know about a major new exhibition in London from 29 May to 12 September 2021.
Epic Iran at London`s V&A explores 5,000 years of Iranian art, design and culture, telling the story of over 300 objects from ancient, Islamic and contemporary Iran.
Iran was home to one of the great historic civilisations, yet its monumental artistic achievements remain unknown to many. Epic Iran explores this civilisation and the country’s journey into the 21st century, from the earliest known writing – signalling the beginning of history in Iran – through to the 1979 Revolution and beyond. Ranging from sculpture, ceramics and carpets, to textiles, photography and film, the works in this exhibition reflect the country’s vibrant historic culture, architectural splendours, the abundance of myth, poetry and tradition that have been central to Iranian identity for millennia, and the evolving, self-renewing culture evident today.
