I am interested in how “museum” has been used to divide or unite human groups and the sense of belonging. I have been researching the birth and evolution of “museum” in Iran and the changes in museum exhibitions of art including modern and contemporary art. I particularly examine how master narratives have been built in the “museum” in relation to the changes of governing system as well as of revolution.
