National Museum of Iran

The National Museum of Iran is one of the oldest museums dedicated to ancient culture. This modest museum represents Iran’s rich history. The interior includes a collection of ceramics, potteries, stone figures and carvings, mostly taken from excavations at Persepolis in Fars province, Khuzestan province, Tehran province and Golestan province. There are quite a few art craft from the site of Persepolis. As you see in this photo, the ancient objects from Persepolis include a magnificent human-headed capital. It is great to view these treasure before you actually visit that wonderful site.

Agha Bozorg Mosque in Kashan

As the finest mosque in Kashan known for its precise symmetric design, the mesmerizing mosque and theological school of Agha Bozorg stands out with the elegant forms and rich interior decorations dating back to 18th century. As the testimony of astonishing achievement, the mosque is perhaps the most striking example of Islamic architecture. The construction purpose was holding prayers and theology courses carried out by Mullah Mahdi Naraqi II, known as Agha Bozorg.  The mosque has a quiet beauty unmatched by its kind, with a central courtyard and a pool in the middle, four porches, two ornate minarets & a brilliant brick dome which has its place among the largest brick domes.  The embellishments used in this building are tiling, brickwork, plaster inscriptions, calligraphy and painting. Anthony and Marina, who were accompanied by Mohamad, paid a visit to this antique mosque.
