Stunning illuminated artworks selling at the museum shop.  All costs are in Euro.

In October, the lunar month of Muharram in Iran, you can see these black flags everywhere.

A Little bit of history
The event marks the anniversary of the Battle of Karbala, when Imam Hussein ibn Ali, the grandson of Muhammad, was killed by the forces of the second Umayyad caliph. Family members accompanying him were killed or subjected to humiliation. The commemoration of this event during the yearly mourning season, with the Day of Ashura as the focal date, serves to define Shia communal identity.
