Arts Appreciation group, January 2006

Persian Arts Exhibition at British Museum Sat 7th Jan 2006

CSSC London’s newly formed Arts Appreciation group has completed its second event/trip.

Organising a substantial reduction to The British Museum’s much vaunted “Forgotten Empire the world of Ancient Persia” exhibition, CSSC London members and their guests had a chance to see exhibits from the British Museum's own collection, the Louvre, and many wonderful exhibits from the National Museum of Iran - none of which had been displayed abroad before.

Among the highlights was the magnificently decorative gold and glass jewellery displays, a CGI recreation of Persepolis and a close look at the Cyrus Cylinder.

Many thanks go to our arts organiser, Yael Steinzeiger, on a superbly organised outing - and we look forward to seeing details of the next one.
