Today, I will share the photos I took while visiting the Shahnameh Museum located in the Saad Al-Saltaneh Caravanserai in Qazvin with you
All the works that you see in Shahnameh Museum or Anthropology Museum are made of pottery and all of them are the works of Master Reza Mohammadi.
All the characters made of clay are famous characters in Iran
Join me as I introduce you to these important and valuable personalities
The image above is a statue of Khayyam Neyshabouri. He was an omniscient philosopher, mathematician, and quatrain poet
Khayyam's quatrains are world famous
Here I share one of Omar Khayyam's quatrains for you
“I sent my Soul through the Invisible,
Some letter of that After-life to spell:
And by and by my Soul returned to me,
And answered: 'I Myself am Heaven and Hell”
Aref Qazvini lived during the Qajar period. He was a patriotic poet who composed melodious poems.
He also had a beautiful and pleasant voice, so the Qajar princes invited him to recite his poems for them.
Muzaffar al-Din Shah asked Aref to stay in his royal court and take office, but Aref refused and returned to his hometown of Qazvin.
He was a freedom-loving man
The image above is of a contemporary and talented Iranian poet named Akhavan sales
He was proficient in classical Persian poetry, but later his style turned to new poetry.
Mehdi Akhavan Sales was born with a blind eye, but his father was a doctor and his mother was a prayer to Imam Reza, one of the holy religious figures of Islam, and he said that thanks to these two people, his eyes were healed.
In addition to being a poet, he was a harp player and all his interests were related to his love and affection for the civilization of Iran.
Babak Khorramdin, an Azarbaijani man, one of the famous Iranian fighters and figures who was the leader of the fighters against oppression.
A Sufi dancing mystically. This dance is called Sama
It involves the rotation of the body along with the trance to show spiritual goals and love of mysticism. Sama has an ancient historical background and is performed after the daf, reed and tambourine are played. In this dance, the hands are open and towards the sky as if they are worshiping God.
Pouria vali and azarbaijani lady
Pahlavan Mahmoud Kharazmi nicknamed Pouria Vali is one of the most famous Iranian wrestlers
A pahlavan is a person who, in addition to being an athlete and a strong man is also a fighter and a defender of the Innocent people
Next to his statue is an Azerbaijani woman in a local dress and skirt playing an Iranian instrument called the tar.
This statue is a symbol of freedom and liberation and conveys a very beautiful feeling to me as if a person with a powerful bird inside her spreads her wings towards flight and embracing it shows love and affection
The above three statues symbolize Baluch women and Azerbaijani women who live and work with hardship.
Finally, I shared some pictures of the museum space with you to get acquainted with its brick facade and its mirror door.
In some of the explanations of this text, I have used Wikipedia, but I wrote all the sentences by myself.
