About
The Glassware and Ceramic Museum of Iran (Persian: موزهٔ آبگینه و سفالینه ایران, Muze-ye Abgineh va Sofalineh-ye Irān) or simply Abgineh Museum (Persian: موزهٔ آبگینه, Muze-ye Abgineh) is located at 30 Tir Street (formerly known as Ghavam al-Saltaneh Street), in Tehran, Iran. The museum contains more than 1000 art pieces from Prehistory to recent times.
The mansion was the private residence of longtime Prime Minister Ahmad Qavam from 1921 until 1951. The complex was also the Embassy of Egypt for seven years. In the late 1970s, it was turned into a museum by the order of Empress Farah Pahlavi.
