For the first time ever, the Louvre Museum will celebrate the Persian New Year. For this auspicious occasion, approximately 200 visitors will be invited to discover the richness of Persian art and archaeology through guided tours in the Departments of Near Eastern Antiquities and Islamic Art on March 24, 2014. This special event is part of the Museum’s outreach program and held in conjunction with the International Women’s Day. It is made possible through the support of the Elahé Omidyar Mir-Djalali Fund, established in 2011 at the Louvre Museum.
