Luxury and Power: July Pick of the Month
The quite literally dazzling Luxury and Power: Persia to Greece exhibition is currently on display at the British Museum. The exhibition explores the use of luxurious artefacts as symbols of power that transcended the borders of the Persian Empire from 550-30BC. This month, we wanted to delve into the decadent display of ancient artefacts on show. Here are our top 5 objects from the exhibition.
The exhibition is running until 13th August 2023, tickets are available here.
