TEHRAN – Portraits of 110 veteran Iranian writers will be put on display in an exhibition at the Palestine Contemporary Museum of Art in Tehran next week.

The exhibition, which will open on Saturday, will be organized in collaboration with the Book City Institute that published the photos in a book titled “Eternal Memento” on July 4, the institute announced in a press release on Wednesday.

“The book was published to commemorate the eternal figures who have had great influence on Iran’s cultural arena,” the institute stated.

The book also carries a brief biography for each writer.

The exhibition will run until August 2 at the museum located at 74 Mozaffar St. off of Taleqani Ave.    

The Book City Institute also plans to publish a similar book for the younger generation of Iranian writers in the near future.
