Marble Palace (Tehran)

The Marble Palace (Persian: کاخ مرمر, romanized: Kākh-e Marmar) is a historic building and former royal residence in Tehran, Iran. It was built in 1933 under the Pahlavi dynasty, located in the city centre. After the Iranian Revolution, the palace was used for nearly four decades by various state institutions.

Initially, it served as the headquarters of the Revolutionary Committees, later becoming the office of senior judiciary officials, and subsequently the office of former President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani as well as a venue for meetings of the Expediency Discernment Council.

In 2018, the palace was transferred by the Expediency Council to the Mostazafan Foundation. Following extensive restoration in 2020, it opened to the public for the first time as the Museum of Iranian Art.
