Ostaad San'ati's museum

by Majid on

I was probabely 9 or 10 when for the first time I visited this museum totally dedicated to his art work in the Northwest corner of "Meidaan-e Toop khaane", and that was my first close encounter with the art of sculpture.

I could barely move from one art piece to the next, and I had the exact same feeling in my last visit about a year ago.

He WAS one of the many true and talented artists Iran ever had.
