[8] The Yasuj Museum, which opened in 2002, displays coins, statues, pottery, and bronze vessels recovered from surrounding archaeological sites.

The economy of Yasuj is based on the following local activities: By 2014 a new refinery will be constructed by the private sector, at a cost of $2.2 billion.

It will produce petrol, gasoil, kerosene, furnace oil, liquefied gas, asphalt, and sulfur.
