Malek National Library and Museum is one of Iran's most significant cultural institutions, located in the historic Bagh-e Melli complex near Imam Khomeini Avenue. The museum showcases a vast collection of Islamic manuscripts, including exquisite Qur'ans, as well as Persian paintings, calligraphy, and coins spanning centuries. Visitors can explore the ornate reading rooms and admire the intricate tilework and architecture of the building. The museum's courtyard offers a tranquil escape from the bustling city, with fountains and shaded seating. What makes this place distinctive is its dual role as both a working library and a museum, preserving Iran's literary and artistic heritage. Highlights include the private collection of Haj Hossein Malek, a philanthropist who donated his treasures to the nation.
