==Museum== The Azadi Museum is located at the basement level. Among the earliest items on display are square [[flagstone]]s, gold sheeting, and [[terracotta]] tablets from [[Susa]] covered with cuneiform characters. Before the 1979 Revolution, the main display was occupied by a copy of the [[Cyrus Cylinder]], the original being kept at the [[British Museum]]. Next, to the Cyrus Cylinder was a gold plaque commemorating the original presentation of the museum to Mohammad Reza Pahlavi by the Mayor of Tehran. Pottery, ceramics, varnished [[porcelain]] (such as a seventh-century blue and gold dish from [[Gorgan]]), an illuminated [[Quran]], and miniatures highlighted milestones in the country's history up to the 19th century, which were represented by two painted panels from Empress and the structure was to represent [[Farah Pahlavi]] as in is stated in some ancient texts.
