The Significance of Tehran's Qasr Prison

The museum of Qasr Prison is a historical complex in the capital city of Tehran. It's one of the oldest political prisons in Iran, but currently exists as a museum complex surrounded by a public park with artwork. The site was most active during the regime of 'The Last Shah.' The political prison was so popular that it needed to be significantly expanded. Since the Islamic Revolution to remove the Shah, the prison has since been converted into a museum and opened to the public.
