The museum is very well preserved and contains the historical works of Iran, from the ancient times and the period of Cyrus. It gives visitors a very good insight into life in ancient times. There are good items for display. The entrance fee is 4,000,000 rials (6.5 euros). If you are interested in history, you can easily spend two consecutive hours in this museum. The behavior of the staff is very friendly. thank you

2. Yumiko from Japan

Ancient Iran Museum (National Museum of Iran) is the first museum in Iran. After buying the entrance ticket (I think 50,000 rials!) you go to the first floor; Where you will see the Palaeolithic to early Neolithic period which I happened to pass by. I spend a lot of time on the ground floor; Because I like the Achaemenid period. Thanks to the brochure that I picked up right after the entrance of the stairs to the first floor, I get the necessary information. I highly recommend picking up a brochure (available in English); Because it is very informative. My favorite work is a guard dog; There are two photos on the base of the statue. Please take a look while you are there. A mummy will also welcome you. Almost all the boards have English translation which is really useful. I usually skip the things I’m not interested in and just focus on the things I like; So my visit lasted only an hour. I believe that with such a rich history, the National Museum can cover many more works; But nevertheless, I’m glad I visited!

If you are interested in Iranian history, definitely go there; There are beautiful works of art.

4. Lizko Petrova from Russia

The National Museum is amazing and a very accessible exhibit. Information about the works is also included in English. The souvenir shop is worth admiring; It is expensive; But amazing! I really liked it. At the entrance, our bags and belongings were delivered to a (free) storage room. The entrance fee was about five dollars per person.

5. Marcelino Diaz from Spain

It includes examples and documents of Iranians from the first millennia of civilization. The museum building has two floors; But the most interesting is the ground floor, which has several examples of the remains of Persepolis.
