Traditional Qajar House 

Amir Nezam Garrousi's house (Qajar Museum) is located in Sheshghelan district in Tabriz near Maqbaratoshoara. It was built in the period of Qajarid crown prince Abbas Mirza (1781-1925). At that time Tabriz was crown predominantly and the city was considered the second capital. After renovating in 2006 the building was used as the Qajar museum.

The house has two stories and covers an area of 3,000 square meters with a built-in area of 1,500 square meters. Like other historical and important buildings of Tabriz, the house has two courtyards that are decorated with small gardens and large ponds.

The basement contains stone hall, weapon hall, figures and commands hall and Architecture hall and the first floor contains coin hall, mosaic hall, porcelain hall, glassware hall, textural hall, music hall and metal hall.
