There is a museum in Tehran with more than $5 billion worth of art by the masters of the Western world locked away in its vaults, away from public view. “Despite being widely judged as the most important and comprehensive western art collection in Asia, the treasures are squirreled away behind a high-security door that can be opened only using a safe combination number.” The museum claims that it has no responsibility to display the works, and decries what it claims is a Western insistence on its own cultural superiority.
