A Museum inside A Beautiful Garden
Pars Museum is the oldest museum in Fars province. In this museum, you can see works from prehistoric times (approximately 4000 BC) to the contemporary era. 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. It was a place to receive foreign ambassadors and guests. Unlike the simple exterior architecture, the interior decoration is very colorful and full of beautiful paintings that dazzle the eyes of every viewer. Also, this is the burial place of Karim Khan, the founder of the Zandieh Dynasty. The Pars Museum's garden is almost in front of the Karimkhan Citadel. If you are interested in the museums, visiting this one will take about one hour. Visiting hours of Pars Museum in spring and summer are from 8:30 to 19:30 and autumn and winter from 7:30 to 18:00. Finally, the entrance ticket price for foreign travelers is approximately $ 1.5

Small but most see !
This museum is located near many old attractions and many of visitors never go to see it, but if your there, you should go and visit it. It's really impressive.

Nice museum but needs some improvements
Located in the center of the city, this small museum gives you an idea about the Persian arts. There are beautiful ceramics on the walls and beautiful artifacts inside the museum. However the insufficient lights and restriction to use flash inside resulted in poor quality photographs.
