    Nice. Persians dominated arts, music, poetry and literature for centuries and investing in cultural infrastructure signifies a nations influence and richness. Iranians have provided civilization with immense cultural landmarks from Central Asia to India.

    Very impressive. Good to see that art and culture are valued as a necessary part of everyday life. Who are we to thank for this?

      Kindly get over the FACT that the revolution was 35 years ago and life, attitudes and above all, Iran has moved on! Wallowing in misery is not very cultured or good for your spiritual growth. Best wishes.

      No; wrong place to look at. Rather look at US congress to find your desired animal(even you can find some zombies there!).

      This is the state of censorship in Iran, no matter how many new theaters they build:
