Pars Museum

The Pars Museum occupies a two-story structure with a central hall, marble pond, and decorated ceiling reaching 14 meters in height.

Built during the Zand Dynasty, the pavilion served as a ceremonial hall for Karim Khan Zand before becoming a museum in 1936.

The museum displays ancient Quran manuscripts, military artifacts from the Safavid period, and 3000-year-old bronze objects from Lorestan Province.

The museum stands within Nazar Garden, near Karim Khan Citadel and multiple restaurants offering Persian cuisine in central Shiraz.

Three stone inscriptions from the Qajar era remain in the garden, alongside the tomb of Karim Khan Zand in the eastern section.
