00:00While Tehran streets are lined with anti-American billboards and posters amid the tension in the Middle East,
00:06Iranians turned out to visit an anti-war exhibition at one of the country's top museums.
00:12The exhibition, titled Art and War, features works by Roy Lechenstein, Robert Indiana, and James Rosenkist.
00:21These pieces, created in the 1960s pop art style, were all selected for their anti-war themes.
00:30It was a very interesting idea that the people who were not leaving the war,
00:36the people who were leaving the war, were a strong way for the war.
00:49The actual work of art was American artists.
01:06The works and display come from the museum's major collection of modern American and European
01:12art acquired in the 70s by Farah Pahlavi, the former Shah's wife, which has largely
01:18been kept out of public view since the revolution.
