Standard (1900-20)
The lives of the Twelve Imams were marked by tragedy. The most significant was the battle of Karbala in 680, where the third imam, Ali's son Husein, and his family all met their deaths, together with their followers. The defeat is commemorated each year, when standards of this type are carried in processions through the streets of Iranian cities. When in use, dyed ostrich feathers, printed cloths or other colourful elements would have been added.

Epic Iran
(May - September 2021)
Epic Iran explores 5,000 years of Iranian art, design and culture, bringing together over 300 objects from ancient, Islamic and contemporary Iran.
Iran was home to one of the great historic civilisations, yet its monumental artistic achievements remain unknown to many. Epic Iran explores this civilisation and the country's journey into the 21st century, from the earliest known writing – signalling the beginning of history in Iran – through to the 1979 Revolution and beyond. Ranging from sculpture, ceramics and carpets, to textiles, photography and film, the works in this exhibition reflect the country's vibrant historic culture, architectural splendours, the abundance of myth, poetry and tradition that have been central to Iranian identity for millennia, and the evolving, self-renewing culture evident today.
