Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art

One of the biggest art museums in Tehran and Iran is the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, or TMoCA. World-class European and American paintings, prints, drawings, and sculptures from the 19th and 20th centuries are among the more than 3,000 pieces in its collections from these periods. One of the largest collections of modern and contemporary Iranian art may be found in TMoCA.

Empress Farah Pahlavi opened the museum in 1977, barely two years before the 1979 Revolution. Outside of Europe and North America, the TMoCA is thought to contain one of the most valuable collections of modern Western classics. It is regarded as having the most priceless collection of Western modern art outside of Europe and the US. The collection was mostly put together by the founding curators David Galloway and Donna Stein under Farah Pahlavi's patronage. According to reports, the museum is home to modern art valued at about £2.5 billion. The museum often presents changing exhibitions and also arranges exhibitions by regional artists.
