Nabshi Art Center was opened in 2018 with the aim of introducing artists and their exquisite artworks. Changing the character of an old residential building that had been abandoned for long, into a public cultural space was a smart act of renovation that brought the building back to the cycle of life. This art center and gallery consist of the following sections:

• PASTOO

Pastoo (Store Room) is a corner on the ground floor of Nabshi Building that offers a collection of limited-edition books and artworks, published and made by Iranian artists as well as art and cultural institutions. These products and works are normally not available in one collection. PASTOO is a place for seeing and reading.

• PELLEKAN

Pellekan (stairways) is a space in the main void of the building where a traditional spiral stairway joins the two upper stories of the building accompanied by extraordinary natural light. Pellekan is a place for encounter and observation.

• PANĀHGĀH

Panahgah (Shelter) is an underground shelter in the courtyard of the building, which used to be a safe place for the occupants and their neighbors during war time. Panāhgāh is a place for silence and observation.
