A must-see in Kurdistan
Kurdish house or Asef mansion is an anthropology museum, for sure a must-see if you travel to Kurdistan province for finding out more about Kurdish culture; clothes, livelihood, handicraft, cuisine and so on. It is an old house consists of five distinguishable sections (though, its contracted over two centuries and you can discern different type of architecture and decorations.); External area or main part (for bureaucratic business; it used to serve as kind of governmental office), internal area (for family where you can feel the calm and privacy), kitchen, hamam (old bath) and an area for the servants and monitors (now it's a traditional restaurant).

Want to know Kurds? Go there
You can find a combination of culture and history of a nation. The building is an old mansion with Iranian architecture and is very cosy and nice also to rest a bit. A traditional restaurant which it's building is a part of the mansion is a very nice restaurant

Old kurdish way of living
It's an old mansion in Sanandaj city. nowadays they use it as an anthropology museum. It's located near the Jameh Mosque and Sanandaj museum, so you can visit it along your way to these places. I think half to one hour is enough to visit. I really the old bath inside the mansion but if I want to know the people's culture I would go to villages near the city. The architecture is very beautiful and I suggest to bring a camera with your self, you may find a very nice spot to take a nice picture.
