Cinema Museum of Iran.

Cinema Museum of Iran, established in 1994, is one of the most interesting museums of Tehran, even for the ones who are not very interested in cinema and don’t know much about Iranian cinema. This museum, known as a hangout for cinema lovers and the students of cinema, is set up in a glorious mansion located in the middle of a lush garden named Ferdows. This stunning two story mansion with its marvelous ornaments was built during the empire of Muhammad shah, the Qajar king.

Ghazali Cinema Town of Tehran.

 For people like me, eager to get acquainted with cinema of all the countries in different styles, Ghazali cinema town in the west of Tehran is a wonderful place for spending a day. Ghazali cinema town which was established in 1971, as the hub of Iranian cinema, is a wide area about 10 hectares. Some of the old districts, streets and buildings of Tehran are beautifully stimulated in this area and they were used as the locations of making historical, religious and social films.
