TEHRAN  (IFILM) -- The Post and Comm unications Museum in downtown Tehran has put on display a collection of Qajar-era newspapers, letters, and other related documents.
In a bid to celebrate the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, this exhibition has been lunched for four days starting from February 01, 2022.
The Qajar dynasty ruled Iran during 1789–1925. In the second half of the sovereignty of this clan, the process of gathering, writing and presenting articles for newspapers gradually emerged and developed.
By the mid-1860s, the novel journalism culture appeared with some four official state-run newspapers getting published in the capital city of Tehran.
During the Constitutional Revolution, the journalistic culture took a big turn into something that was taken more seriously as newspapers were proliferated in huge numbers.
The Post and Communications Museum is a time travel machine where you get acquainted with ways of exchanging information and thoughts before social networks and transmission tools took over Iran.
Besides the exquisite architecture of the building, the museum displays numerous data-x-items from scales, stamps, and post boxes to the oldest stationery, the first telephones, and radios.
Also, it presents the progress of communication and information technology tools throughout history.
