Golestan Palace
 
White Palace  
Towards the end of the reign of Nassereddin Shah, the Ottoman Sultan Abdulhamid sent some precious gifts for the shah of Iran. At that times almost all the royal palaces were decorated with various paintings and furniture, so the Shah decided to have a new palace constructed in the southwestern wing of the Golestan area on the former site of pavilion or Agha Mohammad Khan Tower to serve as a depository for the Gifts.
The building, with its 18th century European style stucco, was named the White Palace for the color of the stucco and the white marble stones that covered its hall and staircase. From the very beginning the White palace became the prime minister's office.
Until 1954 cabinet meetings were held in the Sultan Abdulhamid Hall of this palace. In 1965 the western wing and the ground floor of this building were modified to make it suitable for the coronation of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
This building became the Anthropology Museum in 1968 and displays some of the most ancient artifacts to be found in Iran.
  Ivory Hall
Between the Brilliant Hall and the Northeastern corner of Golsetan Garden there was once a citrus plantation that was demolished early during the reign of Reza Khan.
In 1959 a new dormitory and administrative building was constructed on this site for the visit to Iran by Queen Elizabeth II. Thereafter this building was used to accommodate visiting heads of states. The last time the Chinese head of state shortly before the victory of the Islamic revolution used it
DIAMOND HALL  
The Diamond Hall is located in the southern wing of Golestan Palace past the Wind-tower Building. It was constructed during the reign of Fath Ali Shah but its appearance and ornaments were modified at the time of Nassereddin Shah. It is called the Diamond Hall because of its glittering mirror works. During the reign of Nassereddin Shah most of the Y-shaped arches of this hall were turned into Roman arches like most of the arches in this palace, and the walls were covered with foreign wallpaper.
As it is one of the Fath Ali Shah period buildings, this hall is used as a museum of artwork relating to him. A teahouse is to be built in its basement

Mirror Hall
The Mirror Hall is located west of the Reception Hall and over the frontispiece and stone iwan in front of the lobby of the palace. It is one the most famous halls of Golestan Palace.
It was built simultaneously with the Reception Hall between the years 1874 and 1877. This hall was dedicated to the Peacock Throne and the Kianid Crown when the objects in the old museum were taken to the new museum.
The hall owes much of its fame to its ornamentation and even more to the portrayal of it in a painting created by Mirza Mohammad Khan Kamal-ol-molk in 1891. The painting is now on display at the Golestan Palace.
