Designing and implementing exhibits for the Lak people's Museum of History, Culture, and Customs in a historic castle was the task assigned to our team. We made the decision to begin narrating the museum's story through historical representation. Thus, we looked into the history and ecology of the area, as well as the ethnography of the Lak people.
Beginning with the ground floor's historical part, visitors proceed to discover additional about the Lak inhabitants and their dwelling environments. Following that, their rituals and clothes have been uncovered. Furthermore, they might become acquainted with well-known Lak individuals by Display specifics which are made to meet the particular requirements of museums and the objects housed therein.
The main structure and architectural features of Mozaffari castle are included into the museum's overall design.
One of Selseleh City's historical landmarks from the late Qajar era is Mozaffari Castle. One of the local leaders, Seyed Mehdi Khan, also known as Amir Al-ashyaer, constructed it. It represents the depth and history of Lak culture.
This monument was built using brick, wood, and clay, and its architecture dates back to the early Pahlavi period. It has a multiplicative arch design. This significant structure has a total area of 750 square meters, with 270 square meters each level. Its building measurements are 9 by 30 meters, and its yard is 20 by 25 meters.
