The multinational art of miniature painting won the votes of the UNESCO Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage Committee and was registered in the list of the body’s Intangible Cultural Heritage.
In the fifteenth meeting of the UNESCO Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage Committee, the Iranian art of miniature painting was jointly examined by Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Uzbekistan and registered globally on Wednesday (16 December 2020).
“The registration of a particular art for a country will highlight the position of the ancestors of the people of that country and will create a kind of emotional reaction to the cultural and artistic heritage,” said Iran’s Deputy Minister of Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicraft Mohammad Hassan Talebian on the sideline of the meeting.
The 15th virtual meeting of the Intergovernmental Intangible Cultural Heritage Committee was hosted by Jamaica on Monday, December 14, and will continue until December 29.
