I'll be posting links and photos of Iran's archaeological and historic treasures. I think they are fascinating and belong to all humanity. Viewing them teaches one a great deal about the history, beliefs, arts and ways of living of ancient people. 11 12 15 17 19 22 25 27 30..33

Glory of Persia enchants S. Koreans
After the highly successful* Japan tour, this exhibition of 7,000 years of Iranian art and civilization has arrived in S. Korea.

"In Persia first arises that light which shines itself and illuminates what is around... The principle of development begins with the history of Persia; this constitutes therefore the beginning of history," German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel once wrote about the role of Persia in history, considering ancient Persians "the first historic people."
"Glory of Persia," an exhibition showing the essence of Persian culture, history and civilization, will finally make its way to Seoul and Daegu.
The National Museum of Korea will display 204 unique historical relics from 5000 B.C. to the end of the Sassanid dynastic era in 651 A.D. from April 22 to Aug. 31.
After the Seoul exhibit, it will go to the Daegu National Museum from Sept. 29 to Dec. 21.
The artifacts, titled "Glory of Persia," have been selected from five Iranian national museums such as Reza Abbasi, Azerbaijan, Persepolis, and Iran's National Museum. [more..]

Persian Miniature of early Safavid Iran
L'art de l'Iran Safavide (1501-1736)
Painting and manuscript, in gold and ink on gouache paper. This early 1500s painting of a story from the 11th century Shahnameh (see my previous posts) depicts the courtyard of Kayomars, the first king of Iran. This page ("of an intense spirituality") portrays figures, animals and vegetation, in a hilly landscape of a chromatic harmony.
