Iran’s Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization (ICHHTO) has finally extended the working hours of museums it operates, Mehr News Agency reported.

Following heavy criticism directed at their short opening hours, ICHHTO-operated museums are now open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day, including weekends.

Furthermore, the museums will only close on six public holidays, including the Day of Ashura and the anniversary of the death of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
