Missed out on our Persian culture workshops? Join us for a taste of Iran's rich history during our walk-in hour! Based on the workshop's exploration of ancient Persian civilization through storytelling, curious visitors of all ages are invited to discover The Shahnameh, an epic poem rooted in the bygone empire's mythical and historical past. In collaboration with Dr. Farshid Sadatsharifi, Mrs. Ghazaleh Ghanavizchian and the Islamic Studies Library of McGill University, this open event will include special museum collections, Q&A with museum and library professionals, as well as the opportunity to explore the poem's intricately coloured pages.
From 12h30 to 13h30. No reservation necessary.
