Garden of Heaven: A unique Persian carpet in the Burrell Collection

Garden of Heaven: A unique Persian carpet in the Burrell Collection

Glasgow, UK
Start Date : Saturday 27 March 2010
End Date : Sunday 11 April 2010
The Burrell celebrates the arrival of spring and Naw Ruz – the Persian New Year festivities – by displaying its rarely seen Wagner Garden Carpet. The carpet is a prized 17th-century Persian garden carpet, one of the most important in the country.


And those who can get there should not miss the permanent exhibit of the Ardabil Carpet in the Victoria & Albert Musuem, London.

    Love the blog! LACMA recently had their exhibit of the other Ardabil carpet as well. Local companies and websites have newer renditions of these very important historical rugs. Here is one we recently posted about.
