What travelers say:

The Glass and Ceramic Museum (Glassware and Ceramic Museum), also known as the Abidjan Museum (Abgine Museum), was the residence of Ghavam Al Saltaneh. In this beautiful building, you can find glass and ceramic crafts from Neishabour, Kashan, Rey and Gorgan. Iranians have long since started using glass, so you can find the 2000 BC items here. Hans Holling (Hans Hollein), a famous Austrian architect who designed part of the museum, was inspired by the Persian Polis pillars. My favorite item is "ashkdan". In Persian, it means "tear container". Legend has it that these swan-neck bottles are used to hold the tears of women whose husbands are out to war. It is a 10-minute walk from the National Museum to the Abikin Museum. You can visit them on the same day.
