Hamedan Revisited...(7a)

Museum of War...

Salaam,

The Museum of War located near the Avicenna university's faculty of science and medicine, is one of its kind in Hamedan and indeed Iran showcasing the stories, illustrations and depictions of the eight year Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s. The site was originally an underground hospital used during the height of the war and have since been converted into an impressive collections and displays of the war.

A very worthwhile place to visit and to learn more in depth about how the country and particularly the city endured the hardship and spoils of war, as one of the cities located nearer to the war front.

Wassalam.
