The exhibition will run until February 20, 2022. In this showcase, they are juxtaposed with the promise of freedom of urban garden allotments, holiday shacks, and the altered significance of parks and gardens in the era of the pandemic, the museum said. Persian illustrated manuscripts demonstrate in intricate detail and vibrant colors the enchantment of gardens. The special exhibit in the book art cabinet of the Museum fur Islamische Kunst weaves together the culture of the gardens of Iran and the “longing for the countryside” of today’s city-dwellers. This social function of gardens, as well as the major significance of the culture of gardening as an independent art form, find rich expression in Persian poetry and illuminated manuscripts,” the statement added. “This is particularly true in arid regions like Iran, where cultivated gardens with cooling courses of water and the shade of the trees form idyllic refuges. Places where you can enjoy a barbecue with friends, escape the crowds of the city, or relax under the trees or a gazebo and gaze out onto the verdant landscape,” they noted. “Gardens and parks have always been alluring locations. “Whether it’s garden parties or romance in the park, the dream of retreating to places that are suffused with beautiful memories is no new thing,” the organizers said in a statement. The exhibition entitled “The Garden as a Place of Refuge” is an accompaniment to the exhibition Iran: Five Millennia of Art and Culture, which will open on Saturday in the German capital, Tehran Times reported.
