National Museum of Iran

Tehran · IRAN DIGITAL WALL

The National Museum is a place to connect Iran’s monuments with the objects and periods behind them. Its two main strands, the Museum of Ancient Iran and the Islamic-era galleries, trace the country’s past from prehistory into the Islamic centuries. Original objects with secure dating anchor that long sequence. In Tehran, this archaeological collection makes a thoughtful stop before or after travelling farther afield: take time with individual exhibits, then place them within the wider chronology instead of rushing to cover every era.
