Modares Museum — Attraction in Tehran

The sources disagree on his birthplace. Some mention that he was born in Ardestan around 1870,[citation needed] while others mention that he was born in a village named Sarābe-Kachou (Persian: سرابه‌کچو‎) near Ardestan in the early 1870s, and that he moved to Shahreza when he was six.[2] Activities

Having studied Islamic sciences in Isfahan and Najaf, Modarres became a religious teacher in an Isfahan's madrasa. The name Modarres, which means "teacher", is because of his job there. In 1910, he was chosen by Najaf's cleric community and sent to Tehran to supervise the laws passed by the Majlis, to make sure they did not violate the rules of sharia. Later, in 1914, he was elected as a Majlis representative of Tehran.[3]

In 1916, during World War I, he migrated to Iraq, Syria, and Turkey together with a handful of other politicians, and served as the Minister of Justice in a cabinet formed in exile by Nezam os-Saltaneh. After returning to Iran, he was elected in the Majlis elections a few more times. Modarres fought against the presence of British forces in Persia, vigorously opposing the proposed 1919 agreement that would have transformed Iran into a British protectorate.[4]

In the early 1920s he also played a role in preventing Reza Khan (the prime minister at the time) from abolishing the monarchy (the Qajar dynasty) and declaring a republic, and less successfully opposed Reza Khan's deposing of the Qajar dynasty in 1925. Sayyed Modaress was openly critical of Reza Shah's rule and was placed under imprisonment in retaliation for his criticisms. A few years after a November 1926 assassination attempt against him, Modarres was expelled to Khaf and later to Kashmar.[3]

هزینه ورودی این م=خانه- موزه در سال 98، 5000 تومان بود. مدرس از محل حقوق ماهیانه خود از مجلس که 100 تومان بود، 80 تومان را نزد ارباب کیخسرو نماینده زرتشتیان در مجلس و خزانه دار مجلس به امانت می گذارد و این پولها در کنار هم جمع می شود و پس از چندین سال این پولها را از صندوق مباشرات مجلس خارج کرده و مقداری قرض می کند و با این پول، ملک مشیرالسلطنه را در محل فعلی خریداری می کند. مدرس بخشی از ملک را به خاطر پرداخت بدهی خود میفروشد. از مهمترین افرادی که به این خانه امده اند می توان به دکتر مصدق، رضاخان، کیخسرو شاهرخ و ملک الشعرای بهار اشاره کرد. این خانه تا سال 1307 در اختیار مدرس بود و پس از تبعید به پسرش ارث رسید و تا سال 1325 در اختیار خاندان مدرس بود. بعد از آن، ملک به خاندان نجفی و سپس کتابچی منتقل شد و در نهایت در سال 1393 توسط بخش خصوصی خریداری و تبدیل به خانه موزه مدرس و دارالقرآن امام علی (ع) تبدیل گردید. بریده هایی از روزنامه به همراه تابلوهایی که توضیحات کافی در باره زندگی آیت الله مدرس در داخل اتاق ها قرار دارد. دو حیاط مجزا در ساختمان وجود دارد. شاید مشخصه اصلی این خانه را بتوان پنجره های چوبی به همراه پرده های خاص آن نام برد. دست خط های اصلی مدرس و نامه هایی از آن دوران نیز در این خانه موزه...
