The Treasure Cave (2008)

Overview

The Treasure Cave centers on the famous Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, which is widely considered to be the region’s most important store of modern Western art: Picasso, Chagall, Warhol, Bacon and possible the best Jackson Pollock outside of the United States. However after the revolution, its collection has been little seen, and the building became a memorial to art commemorating the martyrs of the 1979 revolution and Iran-Iraq War.
