A look at the distinctive eclecticism of Persian art and architecture to accompany the exhibition, Forgotten Empire: the world of Ancient Persia.
John Curtis, Keeper of Ancient Near East Department of the British Museum and curator of the special exhibition Forgotten Empire: the world of Ancient Persia speaks about the official and popular art and architecture of the Achaemenid empire, and defines its main characteristics.
