Two carpets in the Farsh Museum were the origin of an exhibition. An Isfahan carpet named Darwaz Behesht, which is 120 years old, and a carpet named Bagh, only a quarter of which is in the Carpet Museum and the rest is kept in museums of other countries. Along with this, at the same time as the 20th month of Mehr, Iranian Garden Day, 30 works by 30 artists With carpets Under the title of Garden of Heaven’s Gate exhibition, it will be held in Iran Carpet Museum and will continue until November 28.

Referring to the works of this exhibition, he said:

The works of this exhibition in 15 seasons will be of various techniques such as ceramics, painting, sculpture, mirror work and collage of recycled plastics. The main goal of combining different techniques is to create a new work. The carpet itself is the result of several techniques. Also, eight workshops will be held during these workshops.

The carpet is the main focus of this exhibition and famous works by Salvador Dali, Sohrab Sepehri, Kamran Diba from Abgineh, Reza Abbasi, Contemporary Arts, Saadabad and Golestan museums will be guests of the Carpet Museum for this exhibition.

Emphasizing the need to promote carpets, Inanlu said:

Using the art of cinema along with the carpet is one of the promotional measures. In previous years, due to the efforts of the National Carpet Center, a contract was signed with 15 prominent directors to make 15 films about carpets; But he remained silent. We plan to continue this in the form of films and carpets. Tomorrow, the memorandum of understanding for the film and carpet festival will be concluded, and after that we will call for the production of works.

Referring to the construction operations in the museum, he said:

Since March, several construction activities have taken place in the carpet museum. The subject tank needed to be expanded due to the number of carpets. We added kefraj (carpet storage tank). All works are located in Kefraz. The design of this tank is in the form of a vacuum so that there is no entry hole for contamination. We have a closed tank for all carpets. The fire notification system of Farsh Museum has been updated. The previous system was not working properly and needed to be updated, and now all the museum’s places are equipped with this fire alarm system. In the field of fire extinguishing, we also need specialized materials and this system has also been updated.

The director of the Farsh Museum also mentioned the renovation of the museum entrance ponds and added:

The restoration project of the ponds has started since August 31. We progressed step by step so that the main body of the ponds would not be destroyed. Based on this, it was decided to remove the floor and restore the water system. Today we found out that one of the tanks has a leak from inside the body and we need to fix it; But the other 6 ponds are working well.

He continued by referring to other plans for organizing the museum:

Our next plan is to save and revive the green space of the museum. Also, this museum is active with 30% of the capacity of human forces, and we must thank the volunteers who help us to advance the activities of the museum.

Referring to the situation of Tulip Park bazaar, Inanlu also said:

That area has Article 100 vote and before this it was the parking lot of two museums of carpets and contemporary arts. In the original plan, that area was seen as a museum of large cloth carpets. In any case, with the help of the relevant apparatus, this area should be determined and can be used as a tourism corridor between museums.

The director of the carpet museum requested at the end:

Farsh Museum is currently a provincial museum under the supervision of the General Directorate of Heritage of Tehran. Considering the importance, goals and scope of this museum, the carpet museum should become a headquarters museum.
