Epic Iran

Victoria & Albert Museum

2021

Delara was proud to be entrusted to provide interpretive and curatorial content for the largest exhibition on Persian art ever staged, covering 5,000 years of art, design, and culture. The exhibition’s layout moved like a city, where history wasn’t just displayed but felt—layered, immersive, and alive. Here, the unfamiliar became unforgettable, the past surged into the present, and Iran’s creative force stood unshaken and undeniable.
