State-of-the-Art (or Should that be Art-of-the-State?) Mausoleum Opens in Iran

Looks like a newly-reopened museum in Tehran will be giving Canada's yet-to-open "human rights" mausoleum a run for its money:

...Visitors are first acquainted with the entire museum by a short film screened on a TV set, and then begin a tour and see its different sections,” he explained.

“The walls are decorated with photos and paintings. Lighting is also unique in the building. Several sculptures of famous figures including Ayatollah Seyyed Hassan Modarres, Baqer Khan, Sattar Khan, and Mohammad Mosaddeq are also set up in different corners.

Different documents revealing the decree signed by the Qajar king Mozafareddin Shah, and the document revealing cheating in Majlis election ordered by Reza Shah Pahlavi are some of the items on show.

Personal items belonging to political activist and Islamic nationalist Jamaleddin Asadabadi as well as handicrafts from several cities are on exhibit...

Sounds impressive--and probably built for only a fraction of what the Canadian white elephant (look: it even has a tusk) will end up costing.
