British Council Iran
The best of contemporary arts

We work to make partnerships in the arts that show genuine respect for the cultures of Iran and Britain.

We work not only in the fields of the performing and visual arts, but also support the growth of exchanges in areas such as museum studies, the history of architecture and conservation of monuments.

We can assist in establishing links between institutions in Britain and Iran that wish to work to foster mutual understanding in the field of the arts. We can also advise on education and training opportunities in the UK.

If you would like to make contact with cultural and artistic organisations in the UK please contact us in Tehran.
