A view of Iranian intangible cultural elements on UNESCO list

TEHRAN –On the UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage, Iran ranks sixth worldwide and fourth in Asia.

Iran’s first intangible cultural heritage was registered 14 years ago on the UNESCO list, and four additional elements have been added to the list this year, making Iran the sixth country in the world with 21 cultural elements listed.

In 2009, Noruz was initially registered on the list as Iran’s first joint intangible heritage with a number of countries, and last week at the 17th session of the Intangible Cultural Heritage Committee of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), which was held in Morocco, four more Iranian elements were added to the list.

Here are glimpses of the 21 Iranian elements on the prestigious list.
