اگر بخواهید زیباترین نمونه‌های فرش ایرانی را ببینید به کجا سر می‌زنید؟ قطعا یکی از انتخاب‌های شما بازار فرش و فرش فروشی‌ها خواهد بود. اما اگر بخواهید به قصد دیدن فرش‌های با ارزش و تاریخی زیبا به جایی سر بزنید، قطعا «موزه فرش ایران» یکی از بهترین انتخاب‌های شما در جهان خواهد بود! موزه فرش ایران از جاهای دیدنی تهران است. این مجموعه به دستور فرح پهلوی ساخته و در ۲۲ بهمن ماه ۱۳۵۶ افتتاح شد. هدف از تشکیل این موزه را می‌توان پژوهش در سوابق‌، تحولات و كیفیت تاریخی هنر و صنعت فرش‌، خاصه در ایران‌، گردآوری و خریداری نمونه انواع قالی‌های دست‌بافت ایرانی و برگزاری نمایشگاه‌های موقت از فرش ایران و سایر نقاط جهان‌ دانست. این موزه شامل سایر محصولات از قبیل گلیم نیز می‌شود. فرش ایرانی هنر-صنعتی است که از دیرباز به‌عنوان نام و اعتباری برای ایران بر فرهنگ ما سایه افکنده است. مفروش کردن هر خانه‌ با فرش ایرانی فرصتی برای لمس تاریخ چندین و چند ساله‌ ایران و تارهای فرش ایرانی است. این حماسه هموطنان بافنده است که خلقت خداوند را به تصویر می‌کشند. در هنر قالی‌بافی ایرانی، به مثابه یک هنر، آنچه از نظرها دور مانده، ارتباط خالق آن با جهان پیرامونی است که تجلی آن را به بی‌واسطه‌ترین و مستقیم‌ترین وجه در آثار مشاهده می‌کنیم. قالی ایرانی از دیرباز معروف و مورد استفاده بوده است. گزنفون تاریخ‌نگار یونانی در کتاب سیرت کوروش می‌نویسد: ایرانیان برای این‌ که بسترشان نرم باشد، قالیچه زیر بستر خود می‌گسترند. سالنامه چینی سوئی‌سو در دوره ساسانی از فرش پشمی ایران به‌عنوان کالای وارداتی به چین نام می‌برد. فرش معروف بهارستان در کاخ تیسفون نیز به خاطر شکوهش بازتاب گسترده‌ای در ادبیات پس از اسلام داشته‌ و یکی از عجایب گنج خسرو پرویز پادشاه ساسانی بوده است. ساختمان موزه فرش ایران، دارای معماری شكیل و چشم‌گیری است كه آذین‌های نمای بیرونی آن به دار قالی شباهت دارد. طراح بنای این موزه، عبدالعزیز فرمانفرماییان است. سطح نمایشی موزه مساحتی برابر ۳۴۰۰ مترمربع را در بر می‌گیرد كه شامل دو تالار است و برای نمایش انواع قالی‌های دست‌بافت و گلیم مورد استفاده قرار دارد. تالار طبقه همكف به نمایشگاه دایمی اختصاص یافته و تالار فوقانی برای برگزاری نمایشگاه‌های موقت گلیم و قالی طراحی شده است‌. در موزه فرش انواع گلیم‌ها و فرش‌های دست‌بافت‌، با توجه به مرغوبیت و قدمت آن‌ها و با در نظرگیری ویژگی‌های قالی ایران از لحاظ رنگ‌آمیزی‌، طرح‌، نقش‌، بافت و تنوع مناطق قالی‌بافی حفظ و نگهداری می‌شود. مجموعه موزه فرش ایران شامل باارزش‌ترین نمونه‌های قالی ایران از قرن نهم هجری تا دوره معاصر است و از منابع غنی تحقیقی برای پژوهشگران و هنردوستان به شمار می‌آید. حدود ۱۳۵ تخته از شاهكارهای قالی ایران‌، بافت مراكز مهم قالی‌بافی مانند كاشان‌، كرمان‌، اصفهان‌، تبریز، خراسان‌، كردستان و... در تالار طبقه همكف به معرض نمایش گذاشته می‌شود. موزه فرش ایران دارای دو بخش موزه دائمی و نمایشگاه است. موزه دائمی ۱۵۰ قطعه فرش نفیس و تاریخی را در خود جای می‌دهد. از ویژگی‌های موزه فرش قالیچه دست‌بافت ارزشمند و بی‌نظیر ایرانی‌، كار فرش‌بافان كاشان‌، در اندازه‌های ۱۳۰ در ۲۲۰ سانتی‌متر، معروف به قالیچه میرزا كوچک خان جنگلی است كه این شخصیت روحانی ملی را در لباس نظامی مسلح به تفنگ و اسلحه كمری‌، قطار فشنگ نمایش می‌دهد. در شمسه بالای تصویر میرزا، كتیبه‌ای با عبارت و نام كارخانه ملامحمود دیده می‌شود كه احتمالا تاریخ بافت قالیچه سال‌های آخر دوره قاجار است‌. ریزبافت‌ترین فرش موزه متعلق به كارگاه عمو‌ اوغلی است كه در زمان دربار پهلوی فعالیت داشته است. تعداد زیادی از فرش‌های بافته شده در كارگاه‌های عمو ‌اوغلی در حال حاضر در كاخ‌های سعدآباد و نیاوران موجود است. ریزبافت‌ترین فرش موزه با ۱۲۰ رج و طرح افشان در نمایشگاه دائمی موزه در معرض نمایش است. قالی ایرانی پیوسته به‌عنوان یكی از اصیل‌ترین هنرها مورد توجه بوده و طیف وسیعی از طرح‌ها و نقوش زیبا را در برداشته است‌. در میان قالی‌ها با طرح‌های گوناگونی كه در آن‌ها به كار گرفته شده‌، قالی‌های تصویری جایگاه ویژه‌ای دارند. بافت این قالی‌ها اواخر سده نهم هجری مجددا آغاز شد و تا به امروز ادامه یافته است‌. در این نمایشگاه نمونه‌هایی از قالیچه‌های تصویری شاهنامه بایسنغری به نمایش درآمده است كه گوشه‌هایی از ادبیات‌، اسطوره‌، مذهب و فرهنگ و هنر غنی ایران را نشان می‌دهد. این آثار همه در كارگاه قالی‌بافی استاد موسوی سیرت‌، به یاری هنرمندان جوان ایرانی و ذوق و سلیقه استاد دنیا دیده و تكنولوژی كامپیوتری...

I’m in love with the beautiful architecture of the Carpet Museum, and I could kiss Kamran Diba’s hands for designing it! The exterior space, with its repetitive columns, felt like the warp and weft of a carpet. As someone without much background in carpets, seeing the differences in motifs and colors from various regions of Iran was incredibly fascinating to me. The entrance area of the museum felt a bit confusing—I didn’t know where to go. It seemed that after the revolution, during the Pahlavi era, the museum officials had arranged the carpets and graphic signs in a poorly thought-out way, which made it difficult to understand the navigation. That said, the museum guides were very active and helpful, always ready to provide thorough explanations if asked. It was also the first museum I’ve ever seen with huge billboard advertisements from a jewelry brand, which struck me as odd for a government-run museum. The carpets were categorized based on different regions of Iran and were mostly from the Qajar and Pahlavi periods. Around 2,500 carpets are preserved in this museum, and the oldest one dates back about 500 years!
