Kolsoum Ali Taleshi: Because exhibitions and galleries are cultural spaces that play an important role in society’s culture, they should be regarded not only as architectural spaces but also as urban symbols.

“Sakht Sar” is the old name for the city of “Ramsar” in northern Iran, which changed its name over time and was chosen as the collection’s title based on the subject.

This collection, in addition to displaying works of art and cultural and historical objects, serves as a venue for introducing and displaying the culture, art, and history of the city of “Ramsar” for all to remember and not forget.

The display of works in “Sakht Sar” is divided into three periods of time: past, present, and future, so that the course of change and evolution of culture, as well as its weaknesses and strengths, can be easily seen.

Among the other spaces of “Sakht Sar” are various types of theatre stages, amphitheatres, libraries, very attractive and pleasant spaces for sitting and talking, and various spaces for displaying works.

Furthermore, this architectural marvel seamlessly blends indigenous elements with contemporary design and is a testament to cultural respect and innovation. Intricate detailing and the thoughtful integration of indigenous materials express respect for the past, while sleek lines and innovative structure highlight modern architecture’s brilliance. A space where the past and present coexist peacefully, inviting us to discover the cultural narratives woven into its fabric. This collection’s beauty can be found in every corner.
