The Pars Museum is a museum in Shiraz, Fars Province, southern Iran and is located in Nazar Garden.The octagonal building was the place in which royal guests were hosted during the Zand dynasty of Iran. It was also used for holding official ceremonies.It is also the burial place of Karim Khan Zand. The old Nazar Garden was one of the largest gardens of Shiraz during the Safavid rule (1501–1722). During Zand dynasty (1750–1794) Karim Khan built an octagon structure which was called Kolah Farangi. It was used to receive and entertain foreign guests and ambassadors and hold official ceremonies. In 1936 the pavilion became a museum. It was the first museum which was located outside the capital city of Tehran. The brick designs, tiling, pictures and big stone dadoes are among the architectural features of the building.[1] Pars museum is a display of almost 30 handwritten Qurans, a number of magnificent paintings of famous Persian artists. Among the paintings is the well-known Karim Khan’s Smoking Shisha created by Jafar Naqash.

Pretty nice with some interesting items on display but the museum itself is very small. The garden is good to relax.
Pars museum is located in Nazar garden dates back to Safavied dynasty.Karim khan ordered to build this octagonal structure or pavilion for the royal guests to host there. It was so nice and Karim khan ordered to buried his body after he died. The fecade of the building is decorated by tile working and flowral mutifes. Building has 4 rooms and 4 alchoves inside. I should acknowledge that it has the most beautiful ceiling in Shiraz and it is engrossing art with inlay painting. Less than 100 years ago, the function of the place changed as museum. You can see Karim khan's grave inside... 17 man Qoran is protecting here.there are a lot of painting and some other things, inside.
Wow. Karim Khan the founder of Zandiyeh Dynasty, ordered to bury himself in the pavilion of this garden, it has deserve to see the first museum of Shiraz.
