‘The Glory of the Ancient Persia’
Show gets kudos, extended for six months in China: Minister
The exhibition, titled “The Glory of Ancient Persia,” was on display at the Palace Museum in Beijing since January and was held from January 12 to April 11.
Zarghami said the extension was approved by the cabinet on Wednesday, and the exhibition will now move to Shanghai, where it will open on June 12.
“The Chinese government requested the extension so that the artifacts could also be displayed at the Shanghai Grand Exhibition,” he added.
The exhibition features 211 historical artifacts and five meticulously recreated objects spanning from the Iron Age to the Safavid period, offering a glimpse into over 3,000 years of Iranian culture and art. The items on display include metalwork, ceramics, and precious stones, showcasing the rich history and craftsmanship of ancient Persia.
Zarghami also highlighted the popularity of the exhibition in Beijing, noting that tickets were sold out during the first two weeks.
He emphasized that the approval of the cabinet is required for the export of historical artifacts from Iran, underscoring the significance and value placed on the country’s cultural heritage.
