Join the Friends of the Freer and Sackler Galleries
and travel to Iran in 2010!
FRIENDS TOUR OF IRAN
October 2010
LED BY CHIEF CURATOR AND CURATOR OF ISLAMIC ART,
MASSUMEH FARHAD AND JULIAN RABY,
DIRECTOR OF THE FREER GALLERY OF ART AND
THE ARTHUR M. SACKLER GALLERY
Join the Friends of the Freer and Sackler Galleries on an exploration of one of the world's most ancient civilizations -- Iran. For two and a half millennia, many dynasties and two religions have left their imprint on the land. Travel with Curator Massumeh Farhad and Director Julian Raby through a country of turquoise mosques, lush gardens, elaborate palaces and majestic ruins to discover Iran's rich and diverse culture and artistic heritage.
The Friends Tour of Iran will likely take place in early to mid October 2010. Exact dates for this trip will be confirmed shortly. We are pleased to partner with Distant Horizons who has helped to plan customized tours for over twenty years and led six successful groups to Iran, including Stanford University and the Archaeological Institute of America, this past fall alone.
Membership in the Friends of the Freer and Sackler Galleries is required to travel with the Freer and Sackler Galleries. The Friends, the museums' distinguished patrons group, provides vital funds to underwrite exhibitions and develop trend-setting educational and outreach programs. In return for their tax-deductible support, members receive special insider access to private curator-led lectures and tours, exhibition opening receptions, annual black-tie events and exclusive travel opportunities like the 2010 Tour of Iran.
