The Asia Institute (1928–1979) was an American organization in support of research and interest in Persian art and archaeology; and starting in 1964 it was funded by the Pahlavi-era Iran. Two remnants from the Asia Institute are the Bulletin of the Asia Institute, published in the United States, and the Qavam House museum (or Narenjestan) at Shiraz University, Iran.[1][2]
