Lying between deserts, mountain chains and seas, Iran developed a
fascinating cultural landscape. 360 objects from the time of the
first advanced civilisations during the 3rd millennium BC until the
end of the Safavid Empire in the early 18th century illustrate the
outstanding significance of Iran as the initiator and centre of
intercultural exchange. Exquisite artworks from the Sarikhani
Collection in London and the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin invite
visitors to embark on a journey in time through the cultural
heritage of Iran. The highlights include the great pre-Islamic
empires of the Achaemenids and the Sassanids, the establishment of
a Persian-Islamic culture, the masterly artistic achievements of
the 9th to the 13th centuries and the Golden Age of the Safavids.
They are brought together as in a multifaceted kaleidoscope in the
copious illustrations and provide insight into the art of the
courts and the urban elites.
