Often overlooked in central Tehran, the National Art Museum of Iran is a compact, quietly impressive museum dedicated to Iranian national and traditional arts. Set within a historic building connected to the old Negarestan Garden complex, it offers a calmer, more intimate experience than many of the city’s headline attractions — a place to slow down and meet Iran through craft, detail, and visual culture.
