General concept was to have all the collections around the table. The exhibition would travel to all our museums. Universal love is a concept that belongs to us all, all over the world in order to have a better understanding of the exhibition we created four categories into which all the objects fall 1-Love, family: the importance of the mother and motherhood 2- Love, romance: many objects tell the story of love across all civilizations and countries 3- Love, beauty: objects were offered as a sign of love miniatures or jewelry for weddings and a universals 4- Devotion: relationship between woman, god, and goddesses is a gain something universal we can start from prehistory and move to the contemporary that are closely connected to love This is a selection of objects to give us an idea of what could be included. Tehran Jaan-e-man means my dear Tehran. This could be expanded to all countries to tell love stories. We will include displays or exhibitions about Tehran.
