About this event

Join Dr Moya Carey, Curator of Islamic Collections, for a focused tour of Persian manuscripts recently put on display in the Arts of the Book gallery.

Three exceptional paintings show different moments from classic Persian poetry. At remarkably small scale, their tiny details offer us deeper meanings about life, love and power.

FREE, no booking required. Limited to 15 participants.
