Travel to Iran: Zoroastrian Sites

This is a travel blog for my 2005 journey to a number of Zoroastrian sacred sites in Iran, in addition to other small excursions. Most of these sites are open to tourists, though some require advanced planning and are often hard to reach.

Zoroastrian Painting Exhibition in Yazd

While visiting Yazd, I had the privilege of visiting a display of oil paintings by the Zoroastrian artist Susan Varjavand. The pictures were displayed in a newly restored Zoroastrian home from the ancient times.

Walking in the galleries of this restored home and seeing the paintings displayed in a truly professional manner was a rare and inspiring experience.
