Isfahan’s Museum of Contemporary Art, a home for visual arts, reopens with new look
The building underwent extensive renovation during the Qajar period (1794-1925). Masoud Mirza, the then-governor of Isfahan, used it as his residence and administrative office.
Due to his profound passion for hunting, Mirza stored his hunting trophies in this building, which led to its nickname, "Hall of Antlers," according to museum officials.
To honor artists and their contributions, Isfahan Municipality started restoration work on the building a few years ago.
During the reopening ceremony on Saturday, Saeed Mohammadi-Panah, the director of the Isfahan Museum of Contemporary Art, announced that the museum, which serves as the city’s specialized center for visual arts, had reopened after four years of restoration and necessary renovations.
