    There is a lot of ancient beautiful clocks and watches in this museum. The building is a wonderful masterpiece. Persian architecture is barely obvious in this beautiful place. If you are staying in Tehran for some couple of days you must give this place a patient visit. To ensure that they're open the day you want to visit,call them before. You can park your vehicle in the shopping malls around it.

    You will enjoy walking here. And the best part is the museum. When you walk there, it is like walking through the time. Old clocks and watches. And beautiful design of the building are fascinating.

    It is beautiful place to see. Having a Café inside, make it better to spend some times inside. Mirrors used in the structure – based on Persian construction style, make it shiny and glittery, specifically during a sunny day, takes more attentions. The clocks, presented in the 2-stories museum, are mostly French technologies, which are bought by Pahlavi and Qajar dynasties. It seems colorful watches are similar to designs used in the Élysée Palace. They have sings which present Greek, Persian and French myths. If you are interested in Arts, it is fine, good place to visit. However, if you are going through it with historical approach, the problem with that is, there is no history for what you see. Clearly they are collected by Government from different palaces to present in a single place, but you won’t know who had it, since when, and nothing else. While you are walking in the garden, there are some super old-fashioned clocks, invented by the scientists during eras, working with light, water, oil and so on. It has nice staff to request the explanations by the way. Recommended to see!

    Time is a matter of us The design and architecture belongs to Qajar period. Gypsum design were incredible combination of Safavid period with beauty and love details. The main museum concluded different kinds of watches and clocks. Very recommend to people. Visit early in morning better than anything.

    In northern Tehran, this mansion, which dates back to the 19th century, has been turned into a museum of time, where a valuable collection of clocks and watches are kept. These pieces are unique, as they belonged to the royalty and the dignitaries of the country throughout the different historical periods. The architecture of the building will definitely take your breath away, and it is truly admirable. The Chambers inside are dedicated for one particular aspect related to time. Having said above, there are certain things to consider. The staff have a tendency of hawkingly follow the visitor to every single room. This is not very professional. Also, there was a room where a small collection of fossils were kept. I could not relate the fossils to the idea of time at all.

    The museum was inside of a house really old with amazing design. If you're interested in clocks, this is a good place for you. I wish they could have been a bit more explanation about the clocks, like the history of it, but they just told us what every clock was made of and which country they were from. There were lots of different types of clocks. One fact that I noticed was that women's clocks were smaller than the men's clocks.

    A very beautiful building; the structure itself is worth visiting as much as the museum; but you'll enjoy the old watches and clocks if you're into their history. There's also a cafe, where you can find average quality food and drinks. If you are planning to visit the museum, you'll need to be there by 5:00 p.m.

    You can find different kinds of clocks and watches. Some parts of the museum was under construction so we didn't visit it completely. There is also a cafe and art gallery inside.

    A great place for knowing about time and different clocks in the ancient history also good for photography for its nice blue color othe building and at last but not leat the cafe which has a good breakfast. An old and beautiful house (Hussein Khodadad House) is now a museum exploring time via displays of antique clocks & watches, with a cafe & garden

  • 3/5 Payam L. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It has a very beautiful building. The works that you exhibit are not worth a museum. Visitors are not allowed to visit the balcony as it has a garden view. My staff does not have the prestige and awareness at all. (Original) خیلی ساختمون زیبایی داره. آثاری که توش به نمایش گذاشتن خیلی ارزش موزه شدن نداره. اجازه بازدید از بالکن بنا که ویوی باغ رو داره به بازدید کنندگان داده نمیشه. پرسنلشونم اصلا پرستیژ و آگاهی لازم رو ندارن.

    (Translated by Google) There is an interesting museum there. The ticket was Tomman February 2, which was a half price student. There is about an hour to devote to the visit and enjoy the hours and architecture and building materials. There is also a café that we didn't go to but it was crowded. (Original) موزه جالبی هست ساعت های مختلف در اون نگه داری میشه. بلیط ۶ تومن بود بهمن ۹۸ که دانشجویی نیم بها بود. حدود یک ساعتی جا داره که به بازدید اختصاص بدین و از ساعت ها و معماری و اینه ها ی ساختما لذت ببرین. یه کافه هم توش داره که ما نرفتیم ولی شلوغ بود.

    Here are less tourist than at other places in Teheran. It's cool to see the locals sitting on the square and enjoying a picnic. Worth to visit. Don't miss the Tajrish Bazaar next to it.

    I went for the coffee shop, it wad mediocre at best. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was ok. But why on earth I should pay for the museum ticket if I just want to use their coffee shop, which is outside of the main building?!?!?!?

  • 5/5 Alexxa K. 6 years ago on Google
    Nice small museum made in a former residence of one of the rich Iranians who fled the revolution. Watches and clocks represent private collections of old generation Iranians. There are some unusual paintings made of watches parts. Look very interesting.

    I recently visited the Time Museum and was immediately struck by the grandeur of the mansion's stunning architecture. The intricate molding on the walls and ceilings was simply breathtaking, with a beautiful combination of cyan and white that added to the overall elegance of the space. Inside the museum, I was treated to a vast array of rare watches dating back to the 90th century. Each timepiece was unique and beautifully crafted, showcasing the incredible artistry and skill of the watchmakers of that era. The atmosphere and environment of the museum were truly remarkable, transporting me back in time and allowing me to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of these historic watches.
