By special permission it is now possible to enter the museum created in Tehran's former US Embassy. In 1979 the embassy was seized by Iranians who held 52 Americans for 444 days. The outer fences of the site have long been the target of anti-American graffiti.
Visit the Museum of Contemporary Art
Tehran is home to paintings by the likes of Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet, Degas and Kandinsky. After the 1979 Islamic revolution many of its priceless paintings were hidden in the museum’s vault and only recently put back on display.
