TEHRAN – Simurgh Nameh, a newly developed online platform, is set to become an easy reference resource for researchers and enthusiasts of Iranian art and culture.
The Tehran-based platform is named after the mythical Simurgh, a benevolent giant bird from Persian mythology that symbolizes the concepts of unity and transcendence. Like Simurgh, who is believed to harbor immense power and wisdom, Simurgh Nameh brings together fragments of Iran’s rich cultural history and reconnects them through an interconnected web of knowledge. We aim to do so.
According to the website, the platform’s mission is to collect and present cultural and artistic works scattered across Greater Iran. Its offerings span museums, libraries, and private collections around the world and are represented in an integrated digital archive. It aims to provide researchers, art lovers, and the wider public with access to these priceless artifacts in a comprehensive and organized virtual space.
