Bandar-e Anzali Museum Palace
About This Museum
Tucked away in the lush greenery of Bandar Anzali, this charming little palace feels more like a secret garden retreat than a formal museum. I was immediately struck by its elegant, almost European facade, a beautiful relic from the Qajar era that tells you this place has stories. Stepping inside is like walking into the well-preserved home of a wealthy 19th-century merchant, with rooms arranged just as they would have been, complete with intricate stained glass and ornate mirrors. Itβs an intimate glimpse into a bygone era of Caspian luxury, far from the crowds and hustle of bigger city museums.
Collection Highlights
You'll find yourself drawn to the opulent reception hall with its dazzling crystal chandeliers and lavish furnishings. Don't miss the fascinating collection of traditional Gilaki clothing and delicate porcelain sets that give you a real sense of daily life for the elite here.
Visitor Information
It's a small and quick visit, perfect for an hour away from the harbor bustle. Just double-check opening times locally, as they can be fluid.
Architecture & Building
A beautiful two-story Qajar-era mansion with a distinct European influence, featuring a grand central balcony, tall arched windows, and lovely stucco work that catches the light.
