Featuring selections from the Freer|Sackler Archives' rich holdings of German archaeologist Ernst Herzfeld's drawings, notes, and photographs—among the world’s largest collections of archival materials on Pasargadae—this exhibition illuminates one of the most important sites of the ancient world. http://www.asia.si.edu/exhibitions/current/pasargadae.asp
