TEHRAN—Cultural heritage department of Ilam seeks to renew tourism amenities in one of its war museums, which is dedicated to Sacred Defense.

Located in southwest Iran, the museum features elements and properties involving the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war, called Sacred Defense in the Islamic Republic.

A total of 23 Sacred Defense museums are currently operational in the country, and it is planned to increase the number to 37 by [the Iranian calendar year] 1404 (starting March 2025).

Such a museum does bargain something different in modern Iranian history where visitors can delve into wreckages of rockets, tanks, rifles, vessels, mortars, radars, air defense systems, grounded jets, military supplies, and artillery pieces amongst others.

Some of those museums are equipped with a state-of-the-art visual system, including projections and video walls, while audio recordings relevant to each period contribute to its charm.
