Hidden away for decades, a Tehran collection of Western paintings is to go on show in Berlin. The politically charged exhibition, which nearly flopped due to Holocaust denying caricatures, is a premiere. After Berlin, the exhibition will continue on to the MAXXI museum in Rome.

But hopes are high that the Berlin exhibition will send a message that reaches people in Iran as well.
