Iran museum illuminates past for visitors

Museums have always been an integral part of society, providing us with a glimpse of our past while shaping our present and future.

The Museum of Light and Illumination in Yazd province, Iran, is one such remarkable example, that literally illuminates the past for present and future generations and preserves collective heritage.

Launched in 2022 under the auspices of a cultural institute attached to a government organization in Iran, the Museum of Light and Illumination is one of the most specialized light museums in the country.

It showcases centuries-old candlesticks and lanterns as well as glittering crystal chandeliers, providing visitors with a unique insight into the history of light and illumination in Iran.
