Pars Museum
موزه پارس
An octagonal pavilion where Karim Khan was buried, housing handwritten Qurans, Persian miniatures and Zand-era artifacts.
The Pars Museum sits within Nazar Garden in the city centre. The octagonal pavilion was originally where Karim Khan received foreign envoys, and he was buried here after his death. The museum displays handwritten Qurans formerly kept at Quran Gate, Persian miniature paintings, and Zand-era weapons and objects. The walls of the pavilion are painted with fine bird-and-flower scenes. The museum is small and can be seen in about 30 minutes. It is a few minutes' walk from the Arg of Karim Khan.
