Darabad Museum of Natural History sits in northern Tehran, where the city begins to climb toward the Alborz foothills. Its exhibits cover animals, fossils, geology, and Iran's natural environments, making it a useful counterpoint to Tehran's art, palace, and political museums.
The museum is most worthwhile for families or travellers interested in nature and science. Because it is well north of the centre, combine it with other northern Tehran stops rather than crossing the city for it alone.
