Brilliant hall reopens in Tehran

Brilliant hall at the historic Golestan Palace in the Iranian capital city of Tehran has reopened for visitors.

The reopening ceremony was held on Wednesday in Golestan Palace with a top official from Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts in attendance. 

Golestan Palace is a UNESCO-inscribed World Heritage site and a masterpiece of the Qajar era, embodying the successful integration of Iranian architecture with Western influences. 

This newly restored hall is named Brilliant because of its magnificent mirrorwork decorations done by Iranian artists.

Here are some photos of the impressive hall hosting statues of former Qajar kings.
