We realize and consider the greatness of the potential link between pre-Islamic Persian cultural heritage and the west via art.
Pre-Islamic Persia has shared many common values and interests with western civilization for many centuries. Its outstanding contributions to the development of art and science (architecture, astronomy, fine arts, mathematics, etc.) have become a constitutive part of western culture, thus internationally enhancing human progress and expression. This common heritage carries us together into the present. According to many researchers, pre-Islamic Persia forms the roots of modern western civilization.
