National Museum of Iran, aging more than 70 years, containing 300,000 museum objects in an area more than 20,000 square meters, is not only the largest museum of History and Archaeology of the country, but ranks as one of the few most prestigious museums of the world in regard to grand volume, diversity and quality of its huge monuments. The building itself was designed by French architect André Godard, a French architect in the early 20th century.

Muzeul Naţional al Iranului cu peste 300.000 de obiecte expuse pe o suprafaţă de 20.000 de metri patraţi este cel mai mare muzeu de arheologie din ţară şi unul dintre cele mai prestigioase muzee arheologice din lume. Clădirea a fost proiectată în 1920 de arhitectul francez André Godard

The main entrance of museum building-1 is built in the style of Persia's Sassanid vaults, particularly the iwan of Ctesiphon.

Intrarea principală este realizată în stilul bolţilor înalte sasanide

The building of the Museum of Ancient Iran was built using red bricks in the Iranian style of architecture with a portal reminiscent of the high arch of Taq-e Kasra from the Sassanid era.

Clădirea principală a muzeului arheologic a fost zidită din cărămizi roşii specifice stilului arhitectonic persan iar portalul aminteşte de arcele sasanide.
