Pars Museum

The Pars Museum in Shiraz occupies an octagonal Zand-era pavilion set within the Nazar Garden, once part of a larger royal complex. Its single domed hall is richly painted and tiled, and the building served as an audience pavilion before becoming a museum. The collection gathers manuscripts, lacquered penboxes, Qur'ans, and objects tied to the Zand ruler Karim Khan, whose tomb was later placed within it. Visitors can circle the small building, admire its exterior tilework, and study the decorative arts inside.
