Criticism of tourism activists for the silence of museum officials

According to ISNA, Mohammad Ibrahim Ebrahimi, a member of the Iranian Tourist Society, said about the closure of Tehran’s main museums and palaces and the lack of transparent information about the closure of these places.

In Tehran, almost most of the museums and palaces in the foreign tourists are closed, while not providing proper information about them. There is no information on the site of these museums, only the visit is announced.

He added:

The National Museum of Ancient Iran, the Saadabad and Golestan palaces have not yet opened after the war. These are the main places in the capital for tourists traveling to Iran, where can the tourist be taken when these palaces and museums are closed? We have even had a visit to the Milad Tower, Mount Damavand and the shrine of Imam Khomeini for the two or three days of tourists in Tehran; But it is important for tourists to watch the most important museum of Iran (the National Museum).

The tourist said in the wake of the museum’s closure during the war.

Experts at the museums and palaces say they have been shut down to protect museum objects during the war and that objects have been transferred to the tanks. They can at least be informed about the closure of these places. When we visit the website of these historical sites, only the visit is from 9am to 6.

Ebrahimi says that we all have to be responsible, when a few foreign tourists have chosen to travel to Iran despite warnings and considerations.

We need to provide the conditions for their presence, the capital’s palaces and museums cannot be closed for several months without proper information. It is common for foreign tourists and foreign tourists to check the Instagram, not the telegram channel. If there is a statement, directive, and regulations and news, it should be announced on the site.

The museums of the country have been shut down on June 5 with the beginning of the 6 -day war, with the aim of protecting monuments and the objects of some of these places have been transferred to the tanks. The Deputy Director of Cultural Heritage announced in early August that museums and historical sites could be reopened in coordination with the Provincial Council; But the opening of the National Museum of Iran and the Golestan Palace will be due to the transfer of objects. Niavaran and Saadabad palaces also experience a stage reopening during this period.
