Not sure about how real or exaggerated it is and no comment on this part but sure about one thing : WARNING: Extremely NOT recommended for kids specially under 13
Magnificent collection of Iranian arts throughout history. Both buildings have remarkable collections. It would take around 3 hours to visit the museum. The design of the main building itself is a beauty.
Home to artifacts that you would never find anywhere else. The footed pottery vessel is one of the first attempts at animation. My favorite piece is the gold cup of King Darius The Great. Foreigners should note that their admission fees to the museum will be higher than the admission fee for locals.
Nice museum with two floors of antique collections depicting ancient history of Iran.Very clean and spacious and nicely maintained. Well worth a visit
The National Museum of Iran, which was constructed by the French Architect Andrea Godard, is the main and most visited museum in Iran where you can find the most important heritage of ancient Iran, and some of these objects are estimated to date back before the Stone Age.
Very shocking and also special
This is a good place if you love museum and want to know the history. Very old artefact are there.
Exhibition not so rich, but interesting to visit. Especially Muslim musium. Helpful service in museum's shop. Thank you, girls!
It was a terrifying museum and you can find a good history of Intelligence & Security organisation of Iran.
The National Museum of Iran with a number of important exhibits.
The museum is perhaps smaller than might be expected for a nation with such a rich history. However the items that they have are indeed very impressive. There are some great Stone Age exhibits, as well as excellent Achaemenid, Arsacid, and Sassanid exhibits.

OMG!
No picture, no video, but all are real. You are going to see things since 30 thousand till 200 years ago, including stones, metal dishes, woody weapons and instruments, glasses, skeletons, and almost everything.
You’ll have your ticket through the machine at the entrance. Early-morning-visit is recommended. You need to spend about 3 hours to visit all halls. Old heritage before Sassanid is located in one building while others located in another building. Each has two stories and areas are 4000M^2 and 5000 M^2. If you are interested in civilization and evolution, you’ll enjoy before-Sassanid-exhibition more. And if you are interested in art, designs and so, I would go for another exhibition.
Some museums are around though which you can consider more time to do at the same time.
Staff are respectful and considerate, specifically if you do COVID protocols like mask-covering :) Museum designs are great, and conductive to present humanitarian growth through the eras to approach civilization.

Eyes opener and a lot of rich historical elements. Unbelievable and it worth it to have a visit. It is pity i skipped it while i was living in Tehran.
Highly highly recommend it. Do not miss it.

Ofcourse nowadays it's getting used for politic propaganda but still it's a good answer to the people who support any kind of totalitarian regimes. These lands has always been tortured. But the point is, also the guardians and the staff in these kind of prisons are victims. The victims of the totalitarian system. I'm more upset for the people who can torture the others. they are lost in describing the good and bad in thr terms of humanity. Prisoners have something to protect, their humanity. But the guardians has nothing. Learning from the history must take place.
want to know how Iranian suffered and how imperialist USA oppressed them? visit this place
- Important: This place is not appropriate for under 15, but the entrance gate let all range of age to visit.
+ its nice to see this prison to know about the history of the people, couldn't tolerate dictatorship. it's terrifying when the tour leader (Former prisoner ) describe the torturing methods.
- Tour takes approx. 1:30h

This museum is the building of police force savak at mohamadreza king of Iran era.it is somehow frightening place where you can see many torture equipment which was used those days
This is the Pahlavi's (past government) secret service headquarter (Savak) and prison built by Germans, it was interesting to see it for the first time, they have kept everything the same and will give you a tour like how it was before you'll hear sounds in every room there's a tv that shows you the animated actions happening in that room and mannequins of officials, although for foreigners I do no suggest you go there, there are too much violence being showed over there. It won't be a good memory to have from Iran.
Former secret prison, some memorabilia and scenes with dummies, good with a guide, probably still valuable on your own. Might shock the more sensitive. I found it well done and learned quite a lot, great insights.
