“Bestowing Beauty: Masterpieces
from Persian Lands”
Toledo Museum of Art, Toledo 800-644-6862 • toledomuseum.org
The Toledo Museum of Art is offering a spectacular exhibition of more than 100 objects drawn from one of the most significant private collections of Persian art. “Bestowing Beauty: Masterpieces from Persian Lands” showcases the artistic inventiveness of Persian culture across different media. Historically, Persian lands – a wide swath of territory that at various times spanned from Cairo to Delhi, with its heart in what is now modern-day Iran – saw centuries of conquest and globalization. The art that resulted both reinforced Persian culture and assimilated these cross-cultural exchanges.
