Tabriz Cartoon Museum is a specialist collection, but its subject is more serious than the name may suggest. Cartoons and caricature carry political wit, social criticism, and graphic skill, and Tabriz has played an important role in Iran's cartoon and illustration scene.
The museum is a good short stop if you want something beyond mosques, bazaars, and archaeology. It is particularly rewarding for travellers interested in visual culture, print history, or the way humour survives inside public art.
