The Glassware and Ceramic Museum of Iran (Persian: موزهٔ آبگینه و سفالینه ایران, Muze-ye Abgineh va Sofalineh-ye Irān) or simply Abgineh Museum (Persian: موزهٔ آبگینه, Muze-ye Abgineh) is located at 30 Tir Street (formerly known as Ghavam Al Saltaneh Street), in Tehran, Iran. It was private residence of longtime Prime Minister Ahmad Qavam from 1921 until 1951. The complex was also Embassy of Egypt for seven years.[1]
The museum contains more than 1000 art pieces from pre-historical era to recent.[2] Ta'liq Script, the award winning artwork by Siavash Sufinejad is one of the most mentionable works which has been recently shown in this museum.[citation needed]
