"Created to accompany an exhibit at Berlin's Museum of Islamic Art, Iran: Five Millennia of Art and Culture is a richly illustrated catalogue detailing Iran's history through material objects and artwork. The book's scope is expansive, showcasing 360 objects from the earliest Mesopotamian city-states in the third millennium all the way through the 19th century. . . . The images are astounding; in addition to the art from the exhibition, the catalogue includes contextual visuals and maps of Iran, cementing the fact that this volume is not just a display of Iranian art but also a celebration of Iran itself. This survey of Iranian culture and history will interest those researching art, history, geography, and Islamic studies. . . . Essential."-- "Choice"
