I really love this museum, it is a collection of things Omidvar brothers brought home from their travels all around the world. you can see the show cases divided by region. the most interesting thing is that there is a chance to meet Eesa Omidvar (one of the brothers) every first Sunday of the month (of Persian calendar).

Museum of the Royal albums and documents of Sa'dabad

Reviewed By Iranviva - Tehran, Iran

About two hundred years ago, the name of Sa’dabad was not known by the Iranians and the people who traveled to Tehran, but this name is now very popular and this global reputation is due to what has happened in this region in the last two centuries. The name of this region became popular for the first time when Nasereddin Shah chose to build his royal palace in this village. Sa’dabad is located in north of Tehran, on the slopes of the Alborz mountains and in the foothills of Tochal. This area is surrounded by the Alborz mountains, Golabdareh region, Tajrish and Velenjak. Iranviva team has provided some articles for the people interested in traveling to Iran. In these articles we introduce you the historical, cultural and recreational sites in Iran. In this regard, we will now have a brief stroll to Sa’dabad complex. A Brief History of Sa’dabad Complex Sa’dabad was the kings’ summer residence during the Qajar period, but at the beginning of the Pahlavi era, the area was particularly appreciated. After the attempted coup in 1920, when Reza Shah took over, the small gardens of this region were merged and this area was used as Reza Khan’s residence. It is mentioned in Haj Aqa Reza Rafi’s diary, a diplomat and one of the Pahlavi attendants, that he has purchased eight thousand square meters of current Sa’dabad palace from Abu al-Fath, the Major Commander, for four hundred thousand tomans, to construct Reza Khan’s residence. The Sa’dabad complex has been developed gradually by purchasing adjacent gardens and it is now a 110-hectare complex. During the first Pahlavi period, the water of Darband River was used in Sa’dabad Palace, but after the expansion of the complex, twelve new subterranean canals were established in this complex. Sa’dabad is famous for its palaces. Today, most of these palaces are used as museums. Sa’dabad palaces are as follows: Ahmad Shahi Palace (under restoration) Shahvand Palace (The current Green Palace Museum, the first Pahlavi’s summer residence) White Palace (Mellat Palace Museum, the second Pahlavi’s summer residence) Special Palace (former Natural History Museum, currently used by the Presidential Administration) Asvad (Black) Palace (Modern Art Museum) Shams Palace (Royal Costume Museum) Ashraf Palace (Royal Dishes Museum) Gholam Reza Palace (Royal Weapons Museum) Mother Queen’s Palace (currently used by the Presidential Administration) Ahmad Reza Palace (currently used by the Presidential Administration) Abdolreza Building (Sa’dabad Administrative Affairs) Bahman Pahlavi (Gholam Reza’s son) Palace (Management Office) Shahram (Ashraf’s son) Palace (Military Museum) Farideh Diba Palace (currently used by the Presidential Administration) Reza Pahlavi (crown prince) Old palace (Behzad Museum) Reza Pahlavi (crown prince) new palace (former Dafineh Museum, currently used by the Presidential Administration) Farahnaz and Alireza (Mohammad Reza Shah’s children) Palace, (Mire’mad Calligraphy Museum) Leila Palace

The National Jewelry Treasury

A 200-year-old precious stone-encrusted throne, jewels from all over the world, a gem-studded 1869 globe, the world’s largest pink diamond and other mind-boggling pieces make up the unusual collection at this historic museum.

After an intensive security check, I had the chance to enjoy an English-speaking tour guide who explained the jewelry in about 45 minutes. It is a miracle how many remarkable and high-value exhibits can be found and admired, not only the Peacock Throne. Be there on time!

To me Iranian cinema alongside French cinema really showcases the best stories in film. The museum gives a great glimpse of the history of Iranian Cinema. Also you get to see an Arriflex 35mm as well as a cinetic analog editing table from back in the days.
