Iran (Persian: ایران‎ Irān [ʔiːˈɾɒːn] ( listen)), also known as Persia (/ˈpɜːrʒə/), officially the Islamic Republic of Iran (Persian: جمهوری اسلامی ایران‎ Jomhuri-ye Eslāmi-ye Irān ( listen)), is a sovereign state in Western Asia. With over 81 million inhabitants, Iran is the world's 18th-most-populous country. Comprising a land area of 1,648,195 km (636,372 sq mi), it is the second-largest country in the Middle East and the 17th-largest in the world. Iran is bordered to the northwest by Armenia and the Republic of Azerbaijan, to the north by the Caspian Sea, to the northeast by Turkmenistan, to the east by Afghanistan and Pakistan, to the south by the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, and to the west by Turkey and Iraq. The country's central location in Eurasia and Western Asia, and its proximity to the Strait of Hormuz, give it geostrategic importance. Tehran is the country's capital and largest city, as well as its leading economic and cultural center.

The Museum and Gallery of Dr. Ahmad Nadalian

The Museum and Gallery of Dr. Ahmad Nadalian. The entrance fee for international visitors is only 2000 Toman - less than one US dollar. Dr Nadalian is known for his environmental art projects in numerous countries across the globe. His most important thing in my artistic life has been to teach painting to the women in Hormoz and Qeshm Island. Every year thousands of art lovers visit the museum to support its activities and it is known in international forums.
