Photo: Roloff Beny --- Iran has the world's largest collection of valuable Western modern art outside Europe and the U.S.A.. In this collection which is housed at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA) in the capital Tehran, you will find the art of virtually any of the big names - Rembrandt, Monet, Dali, Renoir, Van Gogh, Cezanne, Gaugin, Picasso, Andy Warhol and many more. Of the four remaining paintings of the infamous Adolf Hitler, two of them are housed in Tehran. Following the revolution 1979, much of the so called "nudes" have been kept hidden in the archives, but now, only recently, for the first time, many of these pieces have once again been placed on display. You will also find the high class work of great contemporary Iranian artists at Tehran Moma.
