The Musée de la Castre in Cannes has embarked on a major project to study, document and restore 150 paintings, miniatures and objects from its collection of Qajar artworks. The Museum has an exceptional holding of 350 Qajar-era pieces gifted by the Baron Lycklama at the end of the 19th century, many of which have been damaged during the Second World War. Following this initiative, carried out in partnership with the Department of Islamic Art of the Louvre Museum and the Institut national du patrimoine, the Musée de la Castre will display the restored works in a new gallery. A select number of pieces are currently on view in a special exhibition.
