The National Museum of Great Entrepreneurs of Iran, located in the Tehran Palace Museum Garden, was established with the aim of honoring and preserving the great role-players in the country’s economy, industry, and trade. This museum is the first specialized center in Iran that attempts to display a visual and documentary narrative of the country’s entrepreneurial history. In this collection, the headstones and works related to prominent Iranian entrepreneurs have been designed and presented in such a way that visitors can see the real faces of these great figures and learn about their path to success, innovations, lasting achievements, and profound impact on the development of the national economy. The creation of this museum is a response to the need of society to better understand the historical roots of work and entrepreneurship culture and to emulate the pioneers who paved the way for national progress and production with their effort and creativity. This collection is not only a valuable treasure trove of the country’s economic history, but also will inspire young generations and future entrepreneurs to take greater steps on the path of development and innovation.

The management, planning, and implementation of this national project have been carried out in collaboration with important institutions such as the Tehran Municipality, private foundations, trade associations, and a group of economic and cultural activists in the country, so that the museum acts as a bridge between the past and future of Iranian entrepreneurship. The second phase of this project will be completed in the near future with the addition of hyperreal statues and sculptures of more than 100 other Iranian entrepreneurs, transforming the museum into one of the most comprehensive bases of the history of entrepreneurship in the region. In addition to the exhibition space, the museum has provided a dynamic platform for holding educational events, specialized workshops, scientific meetings, and national conferences in the field of entrepreneurship and innovation, in order to help promote the culture of work, creativity, and value creation in society by creating interaction between entrepreneurs, researchers, and interested youth.
