Contemporary Art Museum Tehran

Tehran’s Contemporary Art Museum (TMoCA) is Iran’s leading venue for modern and contemporary art, set in a striking 1977 building inspired by traditional windcatchers. Inside, you’ll find rotating exhibitions of Iranian and international artists, plus a renowned but rarely fully displayed collection featuring works by Warhol, Picasso, Bacon, and Giacometti. The museum also spotlights post-revolution Iranian art and hosts film screenings and talks. Its tranquil sculpture garden and central Laleh Park location make it an easy cultural stop. Visit for a nuanced view of Iran’s art scene and occasional access to one of the Middle East’s strongest collections.
