Miniature Museum Garden

The Miniature Museum Garden is located in District 8 of Tehran (West Janbazan Street, at the corner of Imam Ali Highway). It is a complex of green space and museum that opened in 1392 (2013–2014) as Iran's first miniature museum. Covering an area of about 3 hectares, the garden-museum combines the traditional design of the Persian garden with the modern standards of a miniature park, offering visitors an educational and recreational setting.

This miniature museum displays 12 precise models of Iran's historic monuments that are inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, shown at a small scale but in great detail. They include Persepolis, Chogha Zanbil, Naqsh-e Jahan Square in Isfahan, the Arg-e Bam, the Soltaniyeh Dome and other landmark structures of the country, introducing visitors to the splendor of Iranian architecture through the ages. The garden's vegetation includes a variety of trees and shrubs such as plane trees, magnolias, oaks, Dutch jasmine and ginkgo, as well as evergreen species, planted around and between the models to create a calm and pleasant environment for visitors. In addition, the complex has a 750-square-meter gallery for a permanent exhibition, a library, a tea house, a cultural products shop, and administrative and control areas, which make the visit complete and educational.

To reach the Miniature Museum Garden, visitors can travel by private car or public transport to District 8 of Tehran, West Janbazan Street, and easily find the museum entrance by following the complex's signs. The best time to visit is spring and autumn, when Tehran's weather is mild and an outdoor visit and a walk among the models are most enjoyable. Responsible tourism is also important here: visitors should avoid damaging the greenery and the models, collect their litter, and refrain from making noise or behaving in ways that disturb the museum's quiet atmosphere, so that both the visual beauty and the tranquility of the place are preserved for other visitors.
