Students from the upper grades of Jamshidjam Elementary School visited the Armenian Ethnographic Museum to gain insight into other faiths and cultures.
During their tour of the Archbishop Ardak Manoukian Museum—also known as the Armenian National and Ethnographic Museum—the students learned firsthand about Armenian customs, traditions, and religious practices.
About the Armenian Ethnographic Museum
Located beside Saint Mary Church on Mirza Kouchak Khan Street in Tehran, the museum is directed by Alice Shahmoradian. Its extensive collection includes historical garments, handwritten books, paintings, photographs, and even an antique candle-making device. Visitors can view the robes of Archbishop Ardak Manoukian and his attendants, traditional bridal and everyday outfits, children’s clothing, old banknotes, donated jewelry, a centuries-old worn carpet, and antique silverware once used in Armenian households.
Jamshidjam Elementary School, one of six schools operated by the Tehran Zoroastrian Association, was founded in 1906. The school serves Zoroastrian students from grades one through six under the leadership of Noushin Pashoutan.
