Hidden yet contains the most incredible collection of Persian artifacts. We were lucky to have an intellegent English speaking historian give us a guided tour (that is not her job at the museum). Must see and preferably have a guide.

In addition to the archaeological treasures, this museum contains a collection of classical book illustrations/painting. There are some wonderful gold and silver items from Achaemenid periods.

I was stunned by seeing all that amazing jewelry made over 2000 years ago. Unbelievable! And also there's a collection of Iranian miniature paintings on the 2nd floor which was amazing.

Reza Abbasi museum is a great and valueable collection and only bcoz it is far from other attractions in Tehran is being skipped to save some more time I suppose!

the reza abbasi museum is located away from the rest and is mostly forgotten museum (mind you i think it also has strange working hours) still if you have time do visit it, you'd find some lovely gems there. though maybe not that much info from the museum staff or the info cards by the pieces.
