‘Iran, the Sacred Land’ gets kudos, ‘Iran, I Think of You’ coming next
Following the successful conclusion of the exhibition ‘Iran, the Sacred Land’ at the National Museum of Iran, photographer Herbert Karim Masihi announced plans for a new phase of the project, titled ‘Iran, I Think of You’.
The exhibition, which captured the enchanting beauty of Iran’s art and architecture, wrapped up on February 23, following a visit by Reza Salehi Amiri, Iran’s Minister of Cultural Heritage, Tourism, and Handicrafts, during the annual Archaeology gathering.
The exhibition includes stunning representations of treasured mosques and Islamic structures, as well as significant historical landmarks such as Persepolis and contemporary architectural marvels like Azadi Tower.
The ‘Iran, the Sacred Land’ exhibition, which debuted on February 5, showcased 80 of Masihi’s works, highlighting scenes of Iran’s civilization, art, and ancient artifacts.
A description at the entrance of the exhibit read, “Here is a visual narrative of a story called ‘Memories of the Sacred Land,’ an almost mythical tale of the narrator’s journey to various corners of this land, accompanied by an elderly man who teaches him the language of stones, bricks, and shadows.”
Masihi explained that the exhibition featured only a small selection from a larger collection of 800 photographs. “Each time, new facets of Iran will be revealed,” he said.
The next exhibition, ‘Iran, I Think of You,’ is tentatively scheduled to take place at the Sa’dabad Cultural and Historical Complex.
