Good morning Tuesday! Hello Brownbook Magazine – Issue 56 (The Snow Issue). Brownbook is the essential guide to the contemporary Middle East and North Africa. This issue of Brownbook is an ode to such snowy landscapes. The Middle East’s lesser-known sibling of sea and sand, the region may not be immediately associated with snowflakes but snowfall can be found annually across the mountain ranges of Morocco, Lebanon, Turkey and Iran, and even in Saudi Arabia. And here, this ‘silence of snow’ produces its own special culture, entwined in the flurries of wintry life, spent busy by hitting the slopes or kept warm with late-night salep and spiced ginger coffee. Now available in our online shop!
Get your copy of Brownbook here:

Africa —- #middleeast —- #china . But we saw this coming.
The colonization of #africa looked different with China . But maybe that’s about to change. I heard Africa is sitting on a diamond mine, a gold mine, and everything in between.
But can’t those citizens throughout access it? Everyone else is reaping benefits.

The Vision Project, our joint initiative with UNRWA has been covered with a piece on Middle East Monitor.
The project has provided over two hundred blind and visually impaired children in Gaza with cutting-edge digital technology to help them access information sources, learning opportunities and creative initiatives. It also equipped visually impaired children in Gaza with “Voice Dream Reader” technology to supplement their education. As part of The Vision Project we also provided digital and equipment training to 33 UNRWA teachers.

Museum Week: Behind the Scenes
Today’s #MuseumWeek theme is one of our favourites - Behind the Scenes These photos offer a sneak peek inside our new Ancient Middle East gallery, opening 26 June.
This gallery will take you on a journey across some 10,000 years. You’ll be able to explore village life at the dawn of farming, discover the world’s first cities and the invention of writing, and imagine what life was like in magnificent palaces and temples. You can also listen to Sumerian poetry and write in cuneiform, encounter the art of empires reaching from Iran to Egypt - and find out why the objects that tell these stories are in Oxford.
Stay tuned for more information and come check out the new gallery later this month! Don’t forget that FREE tickets are required for General Entry to the Museum.
For centuries the wives of Iranian monarchs were not crowned, only the male ruler had that honor. This changed with Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. In a nod to the White Revolution’s mandate on the emancipation of women Emperor Pahlavi was determined to also have his consort crowned. There was a slight problem though. Since it had been centuries since an Iranian empress had been crowned there was no appropriate crown available. The honorable task of making the new crown would fall to Van Cleef and Arpels. As was dictated by tradition the gems used in the crown and coronation jewelry were selected from loose stones already in the Imperial treasury. None of the items that are a part of the Imperial treasury were allowed to leave the Iran so Van Cleef & Arpels had to send a team of jewelers to Tehran in order to construct the crown. While there the team Farah and other important people in the Iranian government were consulted on the design aspects so that the finished product would be perfect. The crown ended up taking six months to complete.
The crown itself is made out of out of white gold and green velvet that is covered with diamonds, pearls, emeralds, rubies, and spinels. The crown is part of the collection held at the Central Bank in Tehran.
