An online exhibition, exhibition catalog, and academic edited volume in one, this website offers an alternative museological space for exploring the Emamzadeh Yahya’s many looks, functions, resonances, and stories over the last 700 years. The mirrored website in English and Persian includes six thematic galleries with over 70 contributions, including essays, films, digital interactives, and catalog entries. Through its holistic exploration of the shrine’s complex and layered histories, this website seeks to nuance and improve how the site is understood across many audiences and contexts.

The website is an independent production of 33 Arches and is hosted by Khamseen: Islamic Art History Online.
