The Iran Heritage Foundation is a non-political UK registered charity with the mission to promote and preserve the history, languages, and cultures of Iran and the Persianate world. The objectives of the Foundation are achieved by organising and supporting activities of cultural or scholarly merit. IHF programmes include sponsoring teaching posts and fellowships at universities and museums, giving grants for academic research and cultural activities, and organising regular events and conferences, both in the United Kingdom and abroad.
IHF may have closed its doors to the public during these uncertain times, but you can still catch up on a wide variety of our past events.
Whether it’s a talk on Cyrus the Great, a lecture about the Mirza Akbar drawings, a discussion about Iranian cuisine, a seminar on urban planning, or a conference about Iran’s medical heritage, you can enjoy these videos and more from the comfort of your own home.
