The Dohezar Ethnography Museum began construction in 2009 (1388 SH) through the efforts of the Cultural Heritage Organization and was finally opened in 2011 (1390 SH). The museum is built on two floors with a foundation area of 200 square meters and is situated in a courtyard spanning 400 square meters. The design and construction of this building were inspired by the traditional architecture of the region, using local materials.
This museum is recognized as the sole state-run ethnography museum in Mazandaran province. Within this complex, objects and artifacts representing the daily life of the region’s indigenous people over the past century have been collected. Furthermore, the ethnographic customs of the local people, with an emphasis on the culture of the Alborz mountain dwellers, are exhibited.
The purpose of establishing this museum is to preserve and showcase the cultural heritage and lifestyle of the region’s people, allowing visitors to become familiar with the rich history and culture of the Dohezar and Western Alborz region. This museum offers a valuable opportunity to better understand the customs, traditions, and way of life of the people in this area in the past.
