Hey, sorry I had to deal with some bullshit
Of course we have plenty of art institutions, mate Iran is more developed than 90% of the united SStateSS of ameriKKKa for crying out loud
Of course there are plenty!
You wouldn't fucking believe. The cracKKKers came and stole as much as they possibly could, and the locals usually digging for gold destroyed the rest... I would say maybe the majority of our history has been stolen and put in private collections and western cracKKKer museums or destroyed...
Sorry I'm an American so I have brainworms ๐จ
Like you said elsewhere, some Iranian expats also have brainworms so it's the only thing we hear about over here.
Yeah I didn't think the paintings I saw were just temporary loans from Iran and were being sent back. Unfortunately a lot of stolen shit from all over the world ends up in western hands. The Br*tish are notorious about it.
Like you probably heard about how the Christian fundamentalists who own Hobby Lobby bought stolen art from Iraq via ISIS. In a just world, they'd be put in prison and re-educated while their wealth was distributed among Iraqis as reparations. Instead, they paid a small fine and made to give the stuff back. They still got to keep some other stolen artifacts from a seperate deal because they gave them to some Bible museum.
