This house has three entrance doors and many rooms all around the courtyard that has become a museum and library today. In this library, you will see all kinds of books, including books that were not owned by Nima. In other rooms, his works and manuscripts are located. In one of the rooms, there is an interesting painting from the Qazvin minaret, where signing Nima is at the bottom. Also, there are pictures of Nima in this museum.
Among the yard, there are three tombstones belonging to Nima, his sister named Behjat and Sirous Tahbaz (close friends of Nima).
