The Azerbaijan Museum ranks as Iran's second most important archaeological museum after the National Museum in Tehran, and it sits right beside the Blue Mosque in central Tabriz.
Its collection spans pre-Islamic and Islamic-era artefacts from across north-west Iran, giving useful context before or after a walk through the bazaar and the mosque next door. Entry requires a ticket, bought on site.
Local tip: Pair it with the Blue Mosque next door and do both in the same visit, since they sit side by side.
