Museum Reads – “Persian Miniatures”

November 16, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

A book group especially for art enthusiasts.

Welcome to Museum Reads, the Newport Art Museum’s Art-Themed book group for adults. We meet monthly, at the Museum and virtually, for discussion, and frequently are joined by the author. 

This Month we’ll be discussing: “Persian Miniatures” by Vladimir Loukonine

Encounter one of history’s greatest civilizations through miniatures. In Persian Miniatures, the story of the magnificent Persian Empire is told by way of an artistic tradition on a small but vibrant scale. The colorful images, which are, in fact, elaborate book illustrations, introduce us to a curious world of adventures, heroes and sovereigns.

 

Museum Reads is FREE for Museum Members and only $5 for non-members. It is held in-person at the museum, and also virtually. Be sure to register (via the link below) to receive email updates and Zoom links. For last minute registrations, please call the front desk for the Zoom link at 401-848-8200.
