the forgotten world - ancient persia
September 22, 2005 – 4:36 pmim going to see the british museum exhibition “Forgotten Empire: the world of Ancient Persia” - should be fascinating. its all about the Achaemenid Great Kings from 550–330 BC, and they’ve got loans from the National Museum of Iran, the Persepolis Museum and the Louvre. unfortunately i managed to miss what i’m sure must have been a wonderful documentary depicting a CGI recreation of the palace at Persepolis - last friday evening. ( see now that’s what a great friday is all about..)
ah well. however there are a lot of other yummy things on offer - including the Iran Lecture Series : one that interests me in particular is ‘the art of Achaemenid Persia’ on the 6th october, also the ‘ Sasanian Heritage‘ on the 1st Dec.
