Step into a world where ancient empires come alive! For the first time ever, 151 priceless Iranian artifacts—from shimmering Persian brocades to intricate miniatures—have journeyed thousands of miles to dazzle visitors at the Guangdong Museum.  

Dubbed 'Land of the Sun – Treasures of Iranian Culture and Art', this blockbuster exhibition unveils 5,000 years of Persian splendor (3000 BCE to the 20th century). The star attraction? A glorious gold lion-headed ring from the mighty Achaemenid Empire—more than just jewelry, this sacred symbol of the sun embodied divine power and sealed oaths of loyalty in royal courts.  

But the real magic lies in the centuries-old dance between Chinese and Persian cultures. Marvel at Persian cobalt pottery unearthed in Guangzhou, or trace how Chinese silks and ceramics ignited Persian artistry—proof that the Silk Road wasn’t just about trade, but a highway of shared inspiration.  

Why visit? It’s a rare chance to witness how two ancient civilizations fueled each other’s greatness. History buffs, art lovers—don’t miss this luminous crossroads of cultures!
