These artifacts—including statues, pottery, inscriptions, and many others—come from various historical periods of Iran, presenting a comprehensive glimpse into the grandeur of ancient Iranian civilizations.
Many may wonder why Iranian artifacts are kept at the Louvre. The answer lies in several historical factors. One of the main reasons is the extensive archaeological excavations conducted in Iran in the past, during which numerous discoveries were transferred to foreign museums, including the Louvre. Additionally, some artifacts were removed from Iran during wars and periods of looting.
