Pattern, Power & Paradise, Carpets
with Dr. Filiz Cakir Phillip
Description
Join Aga Khan Museum Curator Dr. Filiz Çakir Phillip on a tour exploring the concept of paradise in Iranian culture through an examination of the world-famous Wagner Garden Carpet, a late 17th century Persian carpet currently on loan from the Burrell Collection. To this day, carpets are considered some of the most luxurious items from the east, known for their richness of pattern and complex geometric design. Learn how these precious textiles signify wealth, power, and sanctity, while also functioning as an important social and political tool when displayed in the courts and audience halls of great rulers.
