National Garden, Architectural complex in District 12, Tehran, Iran
The National Garden compound encompasses multiple government buildings, museums, and cultural institutions spread across a large area in central Tehran.
Initially established as a military shooting range during the Qajar dynasty, the site transformed into a governmental complex under Reza Shah's modernization efforts.
The compound integrates both Qajar and Pahlavi architectural elements through its buildings, reflecting the evolution of Iranian architectural styles over centuries.
Visitors can explore several museums within the complex, including the Museum of Ancient Iran and the Malek National Museum and Library.
The prominent entrance gate, constructed by Mirza Mehdi Khan Shaghaghi before World War II, marks the transition from military grounds to governmental infrastructure.
