Green Museum Palace — Attraction in Tehran

the fact is if you are plan to visit thus museum and you want to enjoy your time forget weekend and holidays. because the problem is it's not a museum it's the old palace and old building which of course was luxury at the time but it's not designed to have so many people inside, and it was only maybe 30 people inside this building not so crowded by Iran standard but it was useless. to top it of the only view you get was from an open door to a room which was full of furniture and dishwares and it was protected by some thick glass, so imagine the view! there was no tour guide available at the time of my visit and again no photography allowed in this place too, I talked to one of their staff and she explained it's because all the mirrors the flashlight from the camera will hurt these, even if so it should be flashlight not allowed not the cameras and photography. don't get me wrong though if you visit here at the right time during the week which is not filled by kids and mom's and only people who are truly interested and understand these it would be a good experience, the Items were available for show definitely worth spending some time with. if I was in charge I would raise the ticket price up to 10 maybe 20 time to solve this problem, because it's not a park...

Reza Shah used the ground floor as his residence and office, while the basement was used for storage. The palace also included a magnificent dining hall, furnished with intricately carved tables and chairs, as well as exquisite Italian china, ceramics, and silverware for...

Upon entrance to the Sa’dabad palaces, you would require to purchase tickets with entrance fee. I often choose only few museum or/ and palace as otherwise it is bit too much in my taste. As I enter from the South Gate, I was very lazy to walk up hills hence used the bus to hike up to the Green Palace. Visited Jan 2025 and no photos were allowed inside palace ( not sure if it is a new rule) but enjoyed keeping close to my heart instead of relying on photos. I arrived on Saturday at around 1100 hrs and had to queue up for five minutes but I suppose it is because of shoe cover saga ( some people struggle with it and do am I …). Inside lavish decorations and mirrors. I was surprised to see good explanation everywhere inside the palace including Japanese radio and film projector! I think Green Palace is one of my favorite place to visit here in Sa’dabad. I spent 15 minutes...
