Visiting Iran after 10 years, Jean-Luc Martinez heads a 7-member delegation to meet and discuss with Iranian officials, including Head of Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism (ICHTO) Masoud Soltanifar and a number of curators, Deputy for Iran’s ICHTO Mohammad Hassan Talebian said on Friday.
Noting that the visit will focus on bilateral cooperation in holding an exhibition of Louvre art works, as well as on inter-museum cooperation, Martinez said Louvre, one of the world’s largest museums, in the French capital inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Iran’s Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization (ICHTO) in January agreeing upon mutual cooperation in such fields as archeology and local arts.
