About this Event
Get an exclusive curator’s tour of the newly opened, extraordinary exhibition . Each month, you’ll have the chance to view this once-in-a-lifetime exhibition with expert perspectives from Simon Rettig, the museum’s associate curator for the arts of the Islamic world.
An Epic of Kings presents a monumental illustrated copy of Iran’s national epic, the Shahnama. Learn how the medieval Mongol rulers used this manuscript to cement their place in Iran’s history, and encounter twenty-five folios alongside contemporaneous works from China to the Latin West.
