Discover highlights from over eight centuries of Iranian art.

This exhibition highlights a few but exquisite pieces of metalwork and ceramics from our collection selected for their exceptional quality and the intricacy of their decoration. Covering a time period from the 13th to 19th centuries, they demonstrate both continuity and novelty in their aesthetic concepts. Along with them the sculpture ‘Devil and Angel’ (2011) by Tehran ceramist Maryam Salour is displayed for the first time. This contemporary piece introduces concerns of and tendencies in Iranian art today.

This exhibition coincides with the Edinburgh Iranian Festival 2013.
