Moghadam Musem

Mohsen Moghadam was a painter, archeologist and art professor. Both he and Salma were passionate about culture and history, and that is the reason why they have dedicated their lives to collecting and gathering valuable objects from all over the world, keeping them inside the house and taking care of them as their children to pass to the next generations. Some of the pieces Moghadam bought from merchants, some took out from houses which their owners intended to destroy, some returned back from abroad after detractors and foreign collectors smuggled them out. Several items were a gift to Moghadam from foreign ambassadors and guests of his house. Visitors now can observe one exhibit of Mohsen’s rare textiles collection. The other samples are in a frozen condition in order to prevent them from destruction. There are some red potteries from Cheshmeh Ali archeological complex that dates back to 5th millennium B.C. In addition, the exhibition contains paintings, mosaics, sculptures and other items along with photos of Mohsen and Salma.
