10 September 2005
Iran’s Cultural Heritage and Tourism Organization has agreed to allow the exhibition Forgotten Empire: The World of Ancient Persia, currently underway at the British Museum, to be transferred to the Kaisha Foundation in Spain for another showcase next year, CHTO Director Esfandiar Rahim-Mashaii announced on Saturday. Organizers
had said earlier that they were prepared to stage the exhibition in other
cities in order to introduce the world to genuine Iranian culture. Forgotten
Empire tells the story of the Achaemenid Empire (circa 550-331 BC), which
was the largest empire the world had ever seen at the time. The exhibition, which opened officially on September 9, will continue until January 8, 2006.
