Negarestan Garden
باغ نگارستان
A summer palace garden of the Qajar kings, now a cultural center of the University of Tehran, displaying Qajar-era paintings and collections.
Built as a royal summer palace garden during the reign of Fath-Ali Shah, the site once housed Iran's first school of fine arts. It is now managed by the University of Tehran. The museum in the garden displays Qajar-era portrait paintings, musical instruments and collections associated with political figures, and the café is quiet. It sits on the east side of Baharestan Square and can be combined with Masoudieh Mansion.
