Explore Isfahan Contemporary Art Museum

Among the many Safavid monuments located in the historical texture of the city of Isfahan, there is an architectural building that is called Isfahan Contemporary Art Museum.

During the Qajarid era, the building was reconstructed to become the residence or ruling center of Zell al-Soltan, the then governor of Isfahan.

Entering the building, a beautiful courtyard with a large rectangular pool in the middle, surrounded by a two-story building feast the eyes.

On the northern and western edges of the courtyard, numerous wooden doors and lattice windows beckon you into galleries that showcase the vibrant world of contemporary art.

Besides six galleries allocated to the periodical exhibitions of contemporary works of art, the complex includes a library, a gathering hall and a Quran museum consisting of 55 Qurans gathered after 400 research trips worldwide.
