Tucked into the historic core of Qazvin, the Qajar Bathhouse has been beautifully transformed into the Anthropology Museum of Qazvin. Originally built in 1647 during the Safavid era by Amir Guneh Khan Qajar, this bathhouse was more than just a place for bathing—it was a social hub, a space for conversation, and a reflection of Persian architectural brilliance. With its domed ceilings, intricate tilework, and separate sections for men and women, the structure still radiates the elegance and functionality of traditional Iranian bathhouses.
Today, the bathhouse has taken on a new life as a museum, offering visitors a vivid look into the cultural and social history of Qazvin. Inside, lifelike mannequins and detailed exhibits bring to life the customs, clothing, and occupations of the region’s diverse ethnic groups. From traditional barbers and bakers to wedding rituals and tribal attire, the museum paints a rich picture of everyday life in Iran’s past. Whether you're drawn by the architecture or the anthropology, this museum offers a rare chance to step into the rhythms of a bygone era—one steam-filled chamber at a time.
