Right in the heart of Kerman, the Harandi Garden Museum offers a peaceful blend of history, culture, and nature. Originally built in the late Qajar era by Mohammad Reza Khan Adl as a private retreat, the garden later became the residence of the prominent Harandi family. With its symmetrical layout, tall pine trees, fruit orchards, and elegant two-story mansion, the garden reflects the classic design of Persian garden estates. Interestingly, Reza Shah Pahlavi is said to have stayed here briefly during his exile, adding a layer of modern political history to the site.
Today, the garden has been transformed into a cultural complex housing two fascinating museums: the Museum of Traditional Musical Instruments, featuring rare Iranian instruments like the santur, oud, and qanun; and the Archaeology Museum, which showcases artifacts from ancient civilizations of Kerman, including relics from Shahdad and Halilrud. Whether you're a history buff, a music lover, or just looking for a quiet stroll through a historic garden, Harandi Garden Museum is a must-see stop in Kerman.
