It's a very nice museum. It is a must-see place for someone who is interested in Zoroastrian culture.

More than 15,000 foreign tourists visited Kerman province during March 21-Sept. 22 this year, said the managing director of the provincial Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Department. He said Zoroastrian Museum is among the top tourist destinations of the province attracting numerous visitors each year. The official said museums manifest the character and nobility of a nation, adding Zoroastrian Museum houses relics pertaining to the culture, customs and traditions of the Zoroastrians living in Kerman. Noting that associations serve as a link between governments and people, he added that the preservation of Zoroastrian tourism sites is among the most important responsibilities of the provincial Zoroastrian Society. "Fresh initiatives should be taken to take in more tourists. For example, handicraft shops can be established near museums," he added. The official noted that economic activities to generate revenues should be considered to renovate some sections of Zoroastrian Museum. Underlining the positive attitude of the government in supporting and developing the tourism sector, he called on the Zoroastrian Society to use the opportunity and attract more Iranian and foreign tourists. He said over 7,000 historical heritage sites have been identified in Kerman Province in cooperation with cultural heritage fans and people, of which 650 have been registered on the National Heritage List. He noted that due to economic constraints, adequate fund is not available for renovating cultural heritage sites, adding that efforts are underway to hand over such sites to the private sector. As the only anthropology museum of the Zoroastrians in the world, Zoroastrian Museum, located in Kerman's Fire Temple, showcases the ancient history of the Zoroastrians. The museum was officially inaugurated during 'Jashn-e Tirgan' in 2005 by Iran's Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization. The museum building, undertaken on the initiative of Behdinan Farzaneh, Hormuzdiyar Ashidari and Mahindokht Siyavashiyan, was designed in the 1990s and completed in 2001. Among the oldest items of the museum is a book hand-written in Gothic (an archaic Germanic language) script, dating back to over 200 years and a brazier on which the date 1207 in the solar calendar (1828 in the Gregorian calendar) is engraved.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Unfortunately, I found this museum a very lackluster location. I think it would qualify mostly as a congregation area for Kerman's Zoroastrian population, rather than a genuine museum. Most of the items are common household belongings of 20th century persons and lack religious significance.

Highly recommend to all travelers to visit fire temple of kerman 2nd old fire temple in iran

You can only see a museum and the garden. Not really interesting.

So good

nice place

I visited this museum before going to the one in Yazd. You can enter the fire temple and check out the few items on display but the signs aren't descriptive and there's not much to see. It's a good way to spend the morning but if you're going to Yazd you can skip this one.
