As a residence, I normally get national price for the entrance ticket in museums in Iran. however with a steepRR 5 mil to enter, I was not sure what to expect. Besides no photos are allowed in…. Was it worth it? To find an entrance of this museum was already a hassle (google map took me elsewhere and I nearly caused an incidents!). If you can find an entrance, then, you need to ring a bell to ask for entering! Oh by the way, you need to leave your bags and phone before entering ( before ringing a bell) to the venue. Once you are allowed in to the reception, you present your passport, go through a body check, pay up and finally you are on your way to the garden. I did not read about this place before, my friend recommended me and there I was. Two key moments: when you see the building from outside and when you stand in front of the stairs leading to the first floor(or second depending on where you are from). I spend most of the time at looking at the patterns on the ground floor and stairs, hall in the first floor and painting room. Mirror room was the best quality I have seen in Iran so far. It is like you are surrounded by thousands of stars. There was a gentle man explaining the art but my Farsi was not at all up to the challenge… I should learn the language!! So was it worth it? For me, it was a big big yes. It is not for everyone. I have a thing about patterns. I also love this place because of the quality of art pieces displayed but also just quietly sit on stairs and look up the doom. Not a big museum but I spent two hours just being sacked into my imagination of ancient time through artifacts in this museum. Regardless of various constraints, I honestly enjoyed being submerged into the rich Iranian art and culture.

Just amazing Very perfect hand work of Iranian architecture. The Palace is made by order of Reza Shah the first king of Pahlavi. All Iranian have to visit it at least one time. I loved the mirror hall and Reza Shah office. It is not allowed to bring in anything and you have to leave every belongs in the safe before passing the garden door. Some parts are destroyed because of the fire which happened inside but it is repaired. You can also find holes of bullets in the wall and ceiling and mirror which are about terror of Mohammad Reza Shah. All kept. PS.: people who are guiding you there are soooo kind and respectful.

One of the most picturesque palace in Tehran belong to first Pahlavi. If you want to visit there you may face some restrictions. Before approaching to the palace you must apply for visiting and pay the online ticket and ID number. Because of high security there you should not have any cameras and photo devices It was ordered to design by Master Lor zade and Master Behzad. Very very recommend it to you 🙂 If you are seeing this you may follow up at Instagram: @nikannazari1
