Tomorrow, Monday Jan. 18, 2010 is the last day of Ardabil and Coronation carpets on display in Los Angels County Museum of Art LACMA. Today is Sunday and I will go to work from 12:00 to 4:00 pm. I am planning to pay my last visit to these two masterpieces and say goodbye to them. It is unknown when LACMA puts these two rugs on display again. Maybe in 5 years, 10 years; who knows when?
I was lucky to visit twice the Ardabil carpet and the Coronation carpet in November and December 2009. They looked great on their temporary platform in LACMA.

Ardabil & Coronation Carpets on Display Los Angeles County Museum of Art LACMA
Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) will put two extraordinary Safavid carpets on display from November 14, 2009 to January 18, 2010. The famous Ardabil carpet which is the oldest dated Persian carpet ever (1539) and the Coronation Carpet (1520-1530) will be exhibited. There will be an excellent speech delivered by Dr. Jon Thompson who will fly to Los Angeles from London to share his studies on these beautiful rugs on Dec. 5, 2009. The Ardabil Carpet measures 13' 5" x 23' 11" and the Coronation carpet measures 12' x 23'.
