Carpet Museum of Iran

Housed in a striking modernist building near Laleh Park, the Carpet Museum of Iran showcases one of the world’s richest collections of Persian carpets. Galleries trace regional styles and techniques from the 16th century onward, with standout examples from Kashan, Tabriz, and Kerman. Clear labels and occasional loom demonstrations illuminate weaving methods, motifs, and dye traditions. The compact layout suits a 60–90 minute visit and pairs well with nearby museums. Best for travelers interested in Iranian art, design, or cultural history; less compelling if you prefer interactive experiences over close study of craftsmanship. Closed some holidays; check hours.
