Construction of the "grand museum" in Kermanshah Province will resume after a long-term hiatus thanks to the allocation of 90 billion rials ($2.1 million) by the Plan and Budget Organization.
The building process started in 1975, but came to a halt 34 years later, due to the lack of budget, Akbar Rezaei, a deputy at the provincial office of Iran's Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization, was quoted by IRNA as saying.
The half-built structure was itself turning into a historical site, until the construction project was refueled by new funds, the official ironically said.
