Iran opens first museum dedicated to a female artist
Iran has opened the country's first museum dedicated to a female artist, Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian. Most of Farmanfarmaian's works were confiscated or destroyed during the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran following which she lived in exile in the US for 25 years. "All my inspiration has come from Iran, it has always been my first love," the artist said.
