For this purpose, the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Arts was chosen, which houses unique works of various artists of the world, such as Gauguin, Renoir, Picasso. In order to achieve the desired goals, one hundred experts in the field of museology were studied and the results were analyzed with SPSS software. The results show that the Museum of Contemporary Arts has a great potential for entrepreneurship, which has not been used so far. t-test indicated that the current status of cultural tourism entrepreneurship is moderate in the research sample, and it is far from the ideal situation. In contrast, the results of Pearson's test showed a strong and positive relationship between the contemporary art museum and cultural tourism entrepreneurship.
