Khaneh Mashrutiyat (The house of the constitutional revolution),
located in Tabriz, is a museum dedicated to the constitutional revolution of
Iran.
From Encyclopedia Iranica
The establishment of a constitutional regime in Persia was the chief
objective of the Revolution of 1323-29/1905-11. Like any other major
revolution, the Constitutional Revolution in Persia encompassed a broad
spectrum of ideas and objectives, reflecting diverse intellectual trends,
social backgrounds, and political demands. At the time even the text of the
Constitution itself did not have universal support. Yet, in spite of
ideological ambiguities, the Revolution remains an epoch-making episode in
the modern history of Persia because of its political achievements and its
enduring social and cultural consequences. --
