Pasargadae to Finally Get its Museum

 
17 December 2004


Iran at last plans to construct the Pasargadae Museum near the mausoleum of Cyrus the Great in early 2005, after a quarter of century break.


The museum is part of a grand plan to reorganize the historical complex and public and private organizations will be engaged, said Alireza Ghaedian, head of Iran’s Cultural Heritage and Tourism Organization in the southern province of Fars.


The museum is slated to open its door in the spring of 2005 after a 25-year-long hiatus. Its original plan was the brainchild of Hussein Amanat, a distinguished Iranian architect who had some landmarks including Tehran’s Shahyad Aryamehr, nowadays known as Azadi Tower under his belt. He started his daunting task in 1975, but it was interrupted after the 1979.
