    Visitors to National Museum of Iran to get a glimpse of world
    civilizations


    TEHRAN, May 13 (MNA) -- The National Museum of Iran plans to hold a
    series of exhibitions on the art and culture of various nations, the
    curator of the museum announced on Friday.
    Mohammadreza Kargar said that the first exhibition will highlight the
    art and culture of Armenia.

    `Following the recent display of Iranian artifacts in foreign
    countries, which helped to boost Iran's connections with world
    museums, we are determined to showcase the art and civilizations of
    other countries, with priority being given to neighboring countries,'
    he added.

    The next exhibitions will be on the art and civilization of Mexico
    and the coins of Austria.

    The `7000 Years of Persian Art' exposition is currently being held in
    Lisbon, which is its last stop. It displays a total of 178 rare
    historical masterpieces collected from various museums across the
    country and will return to Iran within a month.

    The expo opened in Austria on November 22, 2000 and then traveled to
    Germany and Belgium. Later, it was held in Switzerland, Spain, and
    Croatia.
