Luxury and Power: Persia to Greece

This new exhibition at the British Museum will explore the relationship between luxury and power in the Middle East and south-east Europe between 550 and 30 BC. Featuring exceptional loans, including the Panagyurishte Treasure from Bulgaria, as well as objects from the British Museum collection, the exhibition considers the period when the Persian empire of ancient Iran clashed with the cities and kingdoms of Greece, before being conquered by Alexander the Great. Tickets cost £15, with concession prices available.
