National Museum of Iran

The National Museum of Iran is made up of eight research departments, the conservation department, the library, and the archives, as well as the Iran Bastan Museum (Ancient Iran) and the Museum of Islamic Archaeology and Art of Iran. Specific archaeological and historical eras and subjects are used to structure the research departments. The greatest collection of archaeological artifacts in the nation is housed in this museum. The collections, which span more than a million years of Iranian human settlement and cultural development, range in date from the Paleolithic to the late Islamic era.

On the green grounds of the Museum of Ancient Iran, the Museum of the Islamic Era was afterward built with white travertine. In this facility, Firouz Bagherzadeh, head of the Iranian Center for Archaeological Research, hosts a series of symposiums on Iranian archaeology. It has undergone numerous hurried interior alterations and was still being remodeled when the 1979 Revolution overtook the country. While the Museum of Ancient Iran has always had a clear mandate to display archaeological artifacts as well as certain rare medieval fabrics and rug pieces, the modern complex began to exhibit the stunning Amlash pottery from Iran's prehistoric Caspian Sea regions. This was followed by some modern works and repeated interior gutting and remodeling.
