Titled “One Heritage, Two Lands,” the exhibition features around 20 images of traditional Tajik wood carving and 10 images of Qajar-era Iranian tilework. The Iranian works are drawn from the eastern and southern sections of the Golestan Palace complex in Tehran.
The exhibition was inaugurated at the Photography Museum of the Golestan Palace World Heritage complex in Tehran, with artists, art scholars, cultural officials and foreign ambassadors attending the ceremony. It was also being presented online through Tajikistan’s National Museum.
Ali-Shir Zarifi, first deputy director of Tajikistan’s National Museum, said the exhibition provides an opportunity to introduce the two countries’ shared historical and cultural heritage to an international audience.
He said the National Museum of Tajikistan has 22 exhibition halls displaying historical and cultural artifacts, artworks and representations of Tajik traditions and customs.
The exhibition is part of cultural efforts by Iran and Tajikistan to highlight their longstanding historical and civilizational connections and promote greater cultural exchange between the two Persian-speaking nations.
