TEHRAN - A total of 90 historical and cultural artifacts have been restored and preserved in special laboratories within Chaharmahal-Bakhtiari province since the beginning of this Iranian calendar year (March 20).

The artifacts included various metal objects, coins, and pottery items housed in state-affiliated and non-state-affiliated museums, Alireza Jeylan, the provincial tourism chief, announced on Monday.

Jeylan highlighted that the restoration efforts involved collaboration with non-state museums, including the Boroujen City Museum and the Farrokhshahr Museum of Anthropology.

Jilan emphasized the importance of these restoration efforts, noting that they not only extend the lifespan of the artifacts but also enhance their display’s quality and allow for a deeper understanding of their historical significance. “The restoration process helps preserve and reveal the hidden values of these objects,” he added.

Chaharmahal-Bakhtiari has a long history of human occupation, owing to its geography and environmental factors. Its location in highly mountainous regions, along with permanent water resources, small plains, deep valleys, and the presence of tribal and nomadic routes, has made it a significant area for settlement throughout history.
