A really fascinating and informative museum set in a beautiful mansion

The museum, owned by the Regional Water Corporation is set in a buildings of the former Kolahdooz Mansion, built in 1888, and a truly beautiful building. There is everything here you need to know about the old water management system of Iran, which is still functioning today. The mansion itself is fed by the 75km long Zarch qanat which was first dug ca 2000 years ago.

The story of water in desert
This is a part that you shouldn’t miss, the story of water in desert. Just here you would deeply understand and feel how difficult it was to achieve water here in Yazd to survive and which brilliant ideas people came up with on that time to handle this problem. It’s strongly recommended cause in addition to the story of water here you can visit the architecture of an old house in desert; more than 100 year old house belonged to a merchant named Kolahdooz and today is used as an interesting museum called water museum?

A small, but relatively interesting museum
This museum highlights the relationship of water and the desert city of Yazd. Yazd would not survive without ingenuity and engineering and the inhabitants have always found ways to harness water effectively. It is probably not for everyone, but not a bad museum.
