Gorgan Craft Museum, also known as the Handicrafts Museum of Gorgan, is housed in the beautifully restored Amir Latifi Mansion, a Qajar-era residence located near Gorgan’s historic Jameh Mosque.

Visitors can explore its interior halls, porches, and cellars, all restored to reflect their original elegance. Whether you're a history buff, a craft enthusiast, or just a curious traveler, the Gorgan Craft Museum offers a rich, immersive experience into the region’s artistic soul.
