National Museum of Iran

Iran's largest museum of history and archeology, the National Museum of Iran houses one of the greatest collections of ancient and post-Islamic artifacts in the world. The building complex itself is more than 70 years old, and it's not only Iran's largest museum of history and archeology, but it also ranks as one of the few prestigious museums of the world in regard to grand volume, diversity and quality of its huge monuments. This is why the National Museum of Iran is one of the most popular Tehran tourist attractions.

The National Museum of Iran is actually two complexes, including the Museum of Ancient Iran (Muze ye Irān e Bāstān) which was inaugurated in 1937, and the Museum of the post-Islamic Era (Muze ye Dowrān e (pasā) Eslāmi) which was inaugurated in 1972.
