Curator's Pick: Dark, Mysterious, and Enchanting with Bita Pourvash
With the winter solstice approaching, Iranians in Western Asia and around the world are preparing to celebrate the festival of Shab e Yalda. To mark the occasion, the Museum’s Bita Pourvash has chosen to highlight a poetry-inspired masterwork in our Collection that, like the annual holiday, cherishes the beauty of the dark and with it, the promise of the light.
