Once a crumbling relic of old Iran, brewery reborn as arts hub

The current exhibition on display is a collection of installation works, sculptures and paintings by Iranian artist Maryam Amini

Hidden behind imposing brick walls in the heart of Tehran, a renovated industrial cellar where decades ago Iranian beer was made has been transformed into a hub for contemporary art.

The ambitious restoration of the derelict Argo factory has made it "one of the most beautiful buildings of Tehran", said architect Nazanin Amirian, visiting the latest exhibition there.
