Museum of the Islamic Era

[1] Most of the objects in this museum are selected from the works of scientific excavations or prestigious collections such as Khānegāh and Shrine Ensemble of Sheikh Safi al-Din.

This building was equipped for the purpose of establishing the Museum of the Islamic Era and was inaugurated in 1996, but on 22 June 2006, with the aim of improving and completing the facilities, expanding some spaces and reviewing the display of works, the museum was closed for nine years and reopened on 29 August 2015.

An important part of the first floor is dedicated to the manuscripts of the gilded Qurans and the Kufic scripts of early Islam.

There are also examples of manuscripts related to scientific, literary and historical books, and topics such as painting, calligraphy, writing instruments, medical and astronomical tools, textiles, lighting fixtures, pottery and arts made of metal, tiles, plastered altars and various utensils.

[5][4][1][2] The museum contains a total of about 1,500 historical objects, collected from monuments and archaeological excavations and kept in 170 showcases.
