Kermanshah Museum

Kermanshah Museum is located in Dr Shari'ati Avenue, Shahid Haddad-e Adel Street, in a famous building called Takyeh Mo'aven ol-Molk (locally known as Hosseinieh), which is one of the historical monuments from the Qajar period. Built in 1890 AD, it was finally handed over to the former Ministry of Culture and Art by Mo'aven ol-Molk family. The building consists of the following three sections: A) Hosseinieh, B) Zeinabieh, and C) Abbasieh. The latter section with its beautiful painted walls, is built in two floors, of which the second floor is allocated to the exhibit of ethnological articles. The first floor is planned to be allocated to the display of archaeological exhibits in future. For centuries, the building acted as a popular court with religious significance. Parts of the building that had been damaged during the Constitutional Revolution were repaired and renovated in 1912-13 by Mo'aven 01- Molk, the last private owner of the building.
