    Biglar Begi Takiye or Farashbashi Building is a Takiye in the old context of Kermanshah city on Modares Street. This building is located in the old neighborhood of Faizabad and on Bigleri Street in front of Sarem al-Dawlah Street. This takiye, which was built during the Qajar period with the efforts of Abdullah Khan, nicknamed Biglarbeigi, is unique among the tekyaks of Kermanshah in terms of mirror work. [1] On the west side of the yard, a large mirror work hall was built, which is known as Hosseiniyeh.

    Zagros Paleolithic Museum occupies four rooms which include objects from various Paleolithic and Neolithic sites in Iran, dating from ca. 1,000,000 years to some 8,000 years ago. The first room is an audio room where visitors can watch a documentary about prehistoric stone tools and how Paleolithic artisans made these tools. There is also a full life-size model of a Neanderthal. The second room is dedicated to human and animal bones from sites on the Zagros Mountains and some human skull replicas from famous Paleolithic sites in Europe and the Near East. Among the faunal remains, the fossil collection from the Wezmeh cave is of prime importance. The third room contains Lower Paleolithic stone tools from various sites such as Kashafrud, Ganj Par and Shiwatoo. The fourth room houses late Paleolithic and Neolithic stone tools, animal bones, shells and other archaeological objects which are also from sites on the Zagros mountains.

    The Zagros Paleolithic Museum, which is one of the main museums in our country, contains objects and other tools of the first humans and very old periods that have been collected and displayed from the first human settlements. Of course, Kermanshah itself has always been considered by humans in different periods of history due to its rich hunting grounds. Apart from these cases, the artifacts discovered in Vazmeh Cave (in western Islamabad), the remains of the bones of extinct animals in Khorasan, Lorestan, etc. are also displayed in this museum. Discovered from human habitation in Iran, each has a secret that is displayed in this museum. Another example of a museum object is a stone called a mother stone. These stone specimens are remnants of different periods of the Stone Age. Stones in various colors and in different dimensions that geologists know their characteristics and features better.

    Can be much more organized. No data is provided and no local guide. Everything is too much dusty and unorganized. Not sure why the museum is in Tekiyeh!
