which is called ‘’the Central Museum ‘’is the biggest museum
in the tomb and is three storey. The gilded ornaments
from the different periods of Imam Rıza Tomb can be found
on the Grand floor. And each of them looks more magnificent
than the other.
The caligraphy works on the door which is from the Kaçar
period and whose one side is of gold, and the other side
is of silver, are extraordinary. Surahs from Quran are beautifully
written on both sides of the door. Right next
to the door is also a prayer rug remaining from
the 18 th century, which is embroidered
with thousands of small pearls. In
addition to all these, this museum
also contains a Stone alter
from the 1215, an 800 years
old wooden door and a 1
ton weighing stone water
tank, which are magnificently
attractive. And also
in the museum, there are
historical artifacts from different
periods of the Iranian
history, especially of the history
of Mashad, among which
are gold writings, ornaments,
household goods, and historical
swords. These artifacts are worth seeing. The most recent
works of art from the Iranian visual arts are available on the
second floor of the museum.
The attractive originals of the works called ‘’The Creation
On The Fifth Day‘’ and ‘’The Tenth Day of Muharram Afternoon’
by Mahmut Farsciyan, one of the most famous
Iranian miniature artists,‘’ are available in this museum, too.
As mentioned at the very beginning, this is a tomb which
makes one feel that the time is standing stil owing
to the magnificent appearance of its
museums, yards, social domains,
golden dome, in short, owing
to the Iranian characteristic
architecture. The yards host
loads of people, among
whom are children, women,
men, young and old,
who worship and pray in
tears. The elegiac poetries
calling from the minarets,
as well as prayers being
recited with the mystery of
Persian, different skin colors,
languages, faces, first mix with
each other, and then with the
heavens.
