The National Museum of Iran ((ペルシア語:Muze ye Melli ye Irān – موزهٔ ملی ایران)) is located in Tehran, Iran. It is the combination of two buildings which include the ''Museum of Ancient Iran'' (, a Sassanid brick revival building inaugurated in 1937), and the white travertine ''Museum of the Islamic Era'' (, inaugurated in 1972). It hosts historical monuments dating back through preserved ancient and medieval Iranian antiquities. These works include pottery vessels, metal objects, textile remains, and some rare books and coins.〔("Otraq.com, Iran's Tourism Guide" )〕 There are a number of research departments in the museum, including Paleolithic and Osteological departments, and a center for Pottery Studies. ==History== The ''Museum of Ancient Iran'' was designed by French architect Andre Godard in the early 20th century. It has an area of approximately 11000 square meters. Building began in 1935 and was completed within two years by Abbas Ali Memar and Morad Tabrizi. The museum was officially inaugurated in 1937. The second building, the ''Museum of the Islamic Era'', built on the grassy grounds of the ''Museum of Ancient Iran'', went through quite a few hasty interior changes, and was still being remodeled when the 1979 Revolution swept the country. While the old building always had a clear mandate to show archaeological relics (and also some rare medieval textiles and rug pieces), the new building began its life by featuring the exquisite Amlash pottery from the prehistoric Caspian Sea regions of Iran. This was followed by some modern arts, and the repeated gutting and remodeling of the interior. The older building consists of three halls. The halls contain artifacts and fossils from the lower, middle, and upper Paleolithic, as well as the Neolithic, Chalcolithic, early and late Bronze Age, and Iron Ages I-III, through the Median, Achaemenid, Seleucid, Parthian, and Sassanid periods. The newer building consists of three floors. It contains various pieces of pottery, textiles, texts, artworks, astrolabes, and adobe calligraphy, from Iran's post-Islamic era. Plans are underway for the construction of another building, as the current ones lack the capacity and standards for preserving all of the excavated treasures. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Museum of Iran」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
