    (Translated by Google) The Chaharbagh Palace, the Indoor Palace, or the Rekybank Mansion is one of the oldest buildings in Isfahan, which was built in the early 11th century AH with the reign of Shah Abbas I. This mansion was used during the Qajar period as the home of the ruler of Isfahan, including Sultan Soltan. At the time of Pahlavi, the governor's residence was first and then the Isfahan Registration Office. The current user of this building is the Museum of Contemporary Arts in Isfahan. (Original) کاخ چهارباغ، کاخ سرپوشیده، یا عمارت رکیب‌خانه از جمله بناهای بافت قدیم اصفهان به شمار می‌رود که در اوائل قرن یازدهم هجری مقارن با سلطنت شاه عباس اول ساخته شد. این عمارت در دوران قاجار پس از تغییراتی به عنوان خانهٔ حاکم اصفهان، از جمله ظل‌السلطان استفاده گردید. در زمان پهلوی ابتدا محل اقامت فرماندار و سپس اداره ثبت احوال اصفهان بود. کاربری کنونی این ساختمان موزهٔ هنرهای معاصر اصفهان است.

    The Pars Museum is a museum in Shiraz, Fars Province, southern Iran and is located in Nazar Garden.The octagonal building was the place in which royal guests were hosted during the Zand dynasty of Iran. It was also used for holding official ceremonies.It is also the burial place of Karim Khan Zand. The old Nazar Garden was one of the largest gardens of Shiraz during the Safavid rule (1501–1722). During Zand dynasty (1750–1794) Karim Khan built an octagon structure which was called Kolah Farangi. It was used to receive and entertain foreign guests and ambassadors and hold official ceremonies. In 1936 the pavilion became a museum. It was the first museum which was located outside the capital city of Tehran. The brick designs, tiling, pictures and big stone dadoes are among the architectural features of the building.[1] Pars museum is a display of almost 30 handwritten Qurans, a number of magnificent paintings of famous Persian artists. Among the paintings is the well-known Karim Khan’s Smoking Shisha created by Jafar Naqash.

    Many parts of this little garden and museum were under renovation when I was there. The windows of this beautiful octagonal building are covered and really ruin the whole look of the otherwise really majestic building.

    Pars museum is located in Nazar garden dates back to Safavied dynasty.Karim khan ordered to build this octagonal structure or pavilion for the royal guests to host there. It was so nice and Karim khan ordered to buried his body after he died. The fecade of the building is decorated by tile working and flowral mutifes. Building has 4 rooms and 4 alchoves inside. I should acknowledge that it has the most beautiful ceiling in Shiraz and it is engrossing art with inlay painting. Less than 100 years ago, the function of the place changed as museum. You can see Karim khan's grave inside... 17 man Qoran is protecting here.there are a lot of painting and some other things, inside.

    (Translated by Google) A cozy and secluded atmosphere with the observation of a replica of Iran's historical monuments, which, unfortunately, has not been well taken care of in recent years, and most of them have been damaged.

    (Translated by Google) The Museum Garden Café has a great space, the menu price according to Josh is really good, the price of drinks is the same with the cafe I go to. Aside from the beauty and price, the staff attitude is really professional They are so polite and responsive that I have nowhere to go. (Original) کافه باغ موزه فضای بزرگ و قشنگی داره، قیمت منو با توجه به جاش واقعا مناسبه، قیمت نوشیدنی ها با کافه ای که تو شهرستان میرم یکیه گذشته از زیبایی و قیمت، برخورد پرسنل واقعا حرفه ایه به حدی مودب و مسئولیت پذیرند که من هیچ جای دیگه ای ندیدم، ارزش بارها رفتنو داره

    A must to see or those who love history!!! Pars Museum is where the remaining of Karim Khan Zand was moved to, and today it is also called the Karim Khan Tomb. There are plenty of interesting historical pieces kept there including Karim Khan Zand’s sword and some ancient ceramics. The museum includes a beautiful garden called Nazar Garden in which an octagonal mansion was built during the time of Karim Khan Zand, i.e., 250 years ago. Highly recommended!!!

    (Translated by Google) It is wonderful to see all these tourist places in one place, it is really interesting and enjoyable for those who can not travel to all these places, it is attractive and spectacular. In this tourist entertainment complex, world famous symbols have been made in small size, but this complex has not been completed yet and it is not as beautiful as the garden of the Iranian Art Museum. The design of the environment of this garden plays with the spirit and spirit. I wish to use the green space engineers of Tehran, especially the designers of this beautiful museum garden, to design the Malayer mini word collection. (Original) معرکه است دیدن این همه مکان گردشگری در یکجا واقعا جالب ولذت بخش است برای آنان که امکان مسافرت به همه این مکانها را ندارند جذاب ودیدنی است .مجموعه مینی ورد یا جهان کوچک شهرستان ملایر هم که در استان تاریخی همدان واقع شده است .همچین حالتی دارد در این مجموعه تفریحی توریستی نمادهای معروف جهان در اندازه کوچک ساخته شده البته هنوز این مجموعه کامل نشده وبه زیبایی باغ موزه هنر ایرانی نیست. طراحی محیط این باغ با روح وروانت بازی می کند.ای کاش برای طراحی مجموعه مینی ورد ملایر از مهندسین فضای سبز تهران بویژه طراحان این باغ موزه زیبا استفاده کنند.

    (Translated by Google) Even if the objects are not very well presented, the museum is rich in its collection in addition to a private collection recently offered and objects dated from 2000 years before JC. Inside they asked us if we wanted to converse with students in English to practice the language; it was a delight because the visit turned into a very interesting exchange. The ladies who work there also came to explain a lot of details and answer our questions. A superb moment.

    (Translated by Google) The garden of the Museum of Iranian Art is one of the tourist destinations in Tehran, which after its reconstruction in 2005, gradually opened its place among tourists. This garden has attractions such as art exhibitions and workshops, green space and Persian garden, and a center for selling handicrafts and cultural products. But one of the most important attractions of this garden is the replicas of the sights and historical places of our country, which are said to have been commissioned by Italian artists for the celebrations of the 2500th anniversary of the empire. People are very interested in these beautiful models that have been in stock for many years. (Original) باغ موزه هنر ایرانی، یکی از مقاصد گردشگری شهر تهران است که پس از بازسازی‌های انجام شده در سال ۱۳۸۴ کم‌کم جای خود را بین گردشگران باز کرد. این باغ دارای جاذبه‌هایی از جمله نمایشگا‌ه و کارگاه‌های هنری، فضای سبز و باغ ایرانی و مرکز فروش صنایع دستی و محصولات فرهنگی است. اما یکی از مهم‌ترین جاذبه‌های این باغ ماکت‌های اماکن دیدنی و تاریخی کشورمان است که گفته می‌شود برای جشن‌های ۲۵۰۰ ساله شاهنشاهی به هنرمندان ایتالیایی سفارش داده شده است. مردم علاقه زیادی به این ماکت‌های زیبا که سال‌ها در انبار بوده‌اند، نشان می‌دهند.

    The Iranian Art Museum Garden is an art museum located in the Elahieh district of Tehran. The main attraction of the museum gardens are about a dozen scaled-down replicas of well-known historical Iranian buildings dating to the early Pahlavi dynasty. The main building was built in 1931 and belonged to Ahmad Amir Ahmadi, the lieutenant general of Reza Shah, and then to his wife, Turan Mohajer Eslami. Its repair was started in 2005 with green space and landscaping, and it was opened as a museum that year. Must visit while in Tehran.
