Join us to bring in the spring equinox and Nowruz! Nowruz is the Persian New Year that is celebrated across West, Central, and South Asia and globally among the diasporas. Curatorial fellow Janet O’Brien will guide you on a stroll through the lush gardens evoked in Islamic and South Asian art featured in a recent installation. Along the way, you’ll view a magnificent 18th-century Persian carpet of a four-part garden (chaharbagh) design, contemporary glass birds by Turkish artist Felekşan Onar, and historical paintings from the South Asian collection that celebrate the abundance of nature. The installation is on view in the Art from Islamic Lands (2550) and South Asian Art (2590) galleries.
