The Book Garden is a multifunctional cultural center built between 2007 and 2016 with the aim of promoting the culture of reading and increasing the per capita reading of the country.
The collection, known as the largest book and entertainment complex in the country, with 65,000 square feet of infrastructure and 110,000 square feet of space, has created a good space for families to gather, read and shop.
You can access the various exhibition, shopping, educational, cultural and leisure parts in the 3-story book garden and enjoy your leisure time here.
Also, its proximity to collections such as the National Library of Iran, the Academy of Persian Language and Literature, the Garden of Art and the Museum of the Holy Defense, have made the island of Tehran and Iran culture in this corner of the vast lands of Abbas Abad.
Another thing that adds to the charm of the collection is the presence of a cinema campus where you can watch the latest movies in its halls.
One of the interesting things about the Tehran Book Garden is its special architecture, which makes the building look like a ship, though from north to south it looks like a semi-open book.
This special architecture has won various awards such as Architect Magazine first prize in 2017 and Asian Architecture Prize 2017 in Berlin.

According to the official website of the Tehran Book Garden, the world's largest independent bookstore in New York is 14500 square meters, while the area of the Tehran Book Store reaches 25,000 square meters.
Of course, to find out whether Tehran Bookstore is the largest bookstore in the world, further research needs to be done, and since all the information in the bookstore around the world is not precisely in a reliable source, one cannot be sure.
But one thing that can be said for sure is that this collection is Iran's largest bookstore.
What attracts your attention at first glance when you enter the garden is the size of its interior and exterior.
When you come here, you feel like you are walking into a world-class library, not a bookstore.
The special architecture, the bookshelves, the size of the space, and the amenities found around the corner of the book garden attract your attention.

One of the most interesting things you will find in the Tehran Book Garden is the various statues and elements scattered around it, bringing the world of fantasy and reality closer together.
There are generally 80 sculptures in different parts of the book garden.
Sculptures that somehow relate to books and readings, either like Judy Abbott's love of books and writing, or like Zorro and Sergeant Garcia have come out of the world's most famous fiction books and have become like reality.
