TEHRAN – (Iranart)- An exhibition displaying photos of the 1979 Islamic Revolution opened at the Iranian Artists Forum on Friday.

Over 90 photos are on view at the exhibit “Days of Revolution”, which is part of the 11th Fajr Festival of Visual Arts, the organizers announced.

He also said that Iran’s economy of art is one of the main programs of the ministry and there are plans to boost the art business.
