The house museum of Iran's great woman poet in Tabriz
The Parvin E'tesami House is one of the sights of Tabriz. It is known as the birthplace and childhood home of Parvin E'tesami, one of Iran's most celebrated women poets. The house stands in the Shishgelan neighbourhood and covers an area of 1,300 square metres. It dates from the reign of Reza Shah Pahlavi and, after restoration, was added to the List of Iran's National Heritage on 28 Esfand 1385 under registration number 18681. Since its opening, the house has served as the permanent venue for exhibitions run by the East Azerbaijan General Directorate of Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism, offering visitors a historic and cultural setting.
As you enter the house, a beautiful flower garden and the pool in the middle of the courtyard catch the eye. Beyond them you will see the brick building of the house and a statue of Parvin E'tesami climbing the steps. The building has two floors plus a basement, and inside it more than 500 items are on display, including Parvin's personal belongings, handwritten documents, printed works and manuscripts. The courtyard, with its central pool and charming garden, provides a peaceful place for a stroll where visitors can spend time in a poetic atmosphere.
To visit this house museum, travel to Tabriz and head to Abbasi Street, next to the Mir Agha Mosque, Savojbolaghi Alley, No. 6. It is located in the old part of the city and is easy to reach. The best time to visit is from spring to early autumn, when the weather is more pleasant and the cultural visit will be more enjoyable. While visiting, it is important to follow the principles of responsible travel: please do not litter, do not touch or tamper with the museum's items, and behave respectfully toward the cultural and historical atmosphere of this home.
