Reza Abbasi Museum
In my opinion, the collections in this museum surpass those in the National Museum.
The collections on display and in storage of this museum belong to a period from the 2nd millenium BC to the early 20th century which corresponds to the end of Qajar period. The displays are arranged chronologically, so visitors can have a chance to observe the development of art, culture and technology during this time interval. This setup has made the RAM unique between other museums in the country, in respect to the Iranian Art History. The objects exhibited in this museum include artifacts made of baked clay, metal and stone from the pre-historic times to pottery and metal objects, textile and lacquer painting belonging to the Islamic period. Other artworks on display in the RAM are paintings on canvas and paper, manuscripts and jewelry from pre-Islamic period, besides art and technology and calligraphy works of the Islamic period.

We were told the nuts in Iran are of high quality.
I don't know if were were paying tourist dollars or it is inflation. This packet of nuts cost USD $35.
We had a lot of time to spare before heading home, so we decided to visit one of the shopping centers. We were surprised that some US brand of clothes are being sold here. Clothes are not cheaper than Singapore even their local brands. Someone compared the prices of their nuts sold here and they were not cheaper than those that we had bought.
A very friendly and comical waiter that we met.
