FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Let modern Iran trump perceptions by sipping tea with students, seeing fine contemporary
art, joining pilgrims at the shrine of Ayatollah Khomeini and walkers on a trail from Darb-
and.
WINDOWS ON THE PAST
Highlights include the National Museum, the last shah's Niyavaran Palace, the Qajars'
Golestan Palace and the National Jewels Museum, where diamonds (and rubies, emeralds
etc) are indeed forever.
