Report by: Mobeydar Mehran Gheibi
We have many items from hand written Avesta, paper documents, photos till dishes and agricultural instruments. The oldest item is a cupric fire cup belonging to 1207(1828). We have one girl and boy statues wearing Sedreh & Koshti praying to Ahoora Mazda in front of fire and gas fire as a symbol of sacred fire.
The building had constructed for new Adorian, by
donations of Mrs. Mahin Siyavoshiyan in memory of her late husband Mr.
Hormozdyar Oshidarii. But the old building of Adorian was a dedication too,
therefore, the new building was allocated for the Museum. The glass
shelves, cabinets, choosing the displayable items, the order of
settings, printing tour maps, leaflets and inviting cards, making and
installing cupric name board inside the Adorian's courtyard, Iron name in
nearby street are made or done with effort of Kerman Cultural Heritage and
Tourism Organization and at their cost.
When we have visitors, wearing my white religious
cloths and explain the items and aspects of our religion to Iranian and
foreign tourists in Persian or English. We have had several thousands visitors
in this year (1385), especially in Norooz and Iran University Girls and Boys
Students Athletic Olympiads. The last sentence that most of the Iranian visitor
say is:" What a good religion and cultural root we had had".
