Zinatol Molok House

It is another historical house in the old quarter of Shiraz. This has used to be the house of Zinatol Molok, daughter of an eminent governor of the city.
Built during the Qajar dynasty, Zinatol Molok House is a beautiful Persian house with abundant rooms on sides and a garden in the middle. Meanwhile, the house enjoys lots of colorful decorations on the façade and inside.
Today, beside the historical importance and architectural beauty of the house, it is home to a museum known as the Madame Tussauds Museum of Iran.
The museum displays key figures, particularly of the Shiraz history including Cyrus the Great, King Darius I, King Aqa Mohammad Khan, Mansur Hallaj, King Karim Khan, Sadi, Empress Atousa, and great musician Barbad.
