Darabi on Sunday in an interview referring to this exhibition in Beijing said that the Agricultural Bank of China is the financial sponsor of the exhibition.
Iran's Deputy Minister of Cultural Heritage said that this exhibition was well received, adding that only one day after the opening ceremony, tickets to visit the Forbidden City Palace Museum were sold in advance for the next two weeks.
The exhibition, dubbed “The Glory of Ancient Persia; Exhibition of Iranian cultural relics” opened on January 11, 2023, and will run for three months at the Palace Museum in the Chinese capital Beijing. The exhibition introduces Iranian culture and art from the Iron Age to the Safavid Empire through showcasing 211 artefacts, some of which date back to 3,000 years ago.
A Marlik gold cup, a Sasanian glass bowl from Iran’s northern region of Deilam, and the head of the Persepolis statue made of blue paste are among the works at display.
Taking place at one of the world’s largest museums, the exhibition is aimed at introducing the Iranian civilization and history to the Chinese people and to encourage them to visit Iran as the two countries inherit centuries of bilateral ties that are further expanding.
