The 28th National Crafts Exhibition is underway in Tehran for a week.

The exhibition is organized by Iran’s Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts Organization.

With its long history and ancient civilization, Iran has an incredible inventory of handicrafts to offer.

Dozens of Iranian handicrafts have been honored with the UNESCO Seal of Excellence over the past couple of years.

The US, Europe (especially Germany and Italy), China, Brazil, South and Central Africa, along with neighboring countries are the most significant markets for Iranian handicrafts.
