Tehran – The Iranian National Museum is scheduled to reopen tomorrow after more than three months of closure that began with an exhibition entitled “The Narrator of Ancient Iran.”
The museum has been closed since June 13, when Iran closed museums and heritage sites around the country at the start of a 12-day war with Israel. Some of that collections were transferred to storage for protection.
The reopening will begin at 11am local time and the selection of artifacts on display will be made, the museum said in a statement carried by ISNA News Agency. He added that the process of reopening the museum’s main hall will take place over time.
Jebrael Nokandeh, director of the Iranian National Museum, said the opening of the museum’s partner site will be announced in a later statement.
Last week, the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts ordered the reopening of all museums, historic palaces and archaeological sites across the country.
The National Museum is a chock of valuable objects introducing the juicy history of the nation, showing ceramics, ceramics, stone figures and sculptures that have been mostly photographed from excavations in Persepolis, Ismail Abad (near Kazbin), Shash, Ray and Tarantappe.
Inside, among the discoveries of the scrunchie, there are the winged lion stone capital, several fun pitchers and ships in the form of animals, and colorful glazed bricks decorated with double-winged mythical creatures. A copy of the geolate stem detailing the code of the Babylonian Hammurabi, discovered in the 1901, is also displayed. This is in Paris.
