Tomb of Ferdowsi Tousi is located in a beautiful garden 20 kilometers north of Mashhad. The current building of Ferdowsi's Tomb and the Tous Museum, inspired by the Achaemenid architecture, especially the tomb of Cyrus, was initiated by the National Society for National Monuments in 1343 and supervised by engineer Houshang Sihoun in 1347.
The exterior of the building includes the features of the Achaemenid, especially the pillars and columns, and the poems written on the four sides of the monument written by Ferdowsi's wise man representing his thoughts and personality. The upper part of the building is made hollow and its interior is in addition to inspiration from the Parthian period architecture, consisting of 20 marble columns at the bottom and 8 columns in the upper part. In the parts of the tomb there are wall paintings of Fereydoun Siddiqui, which show scenes from the traditions of Shahnameh.
The current building has a substructure of nine hundred meters and is made of concrete, stone and tile. The upper part of the building, which was in the early implementation of the solid, was made this time. Its interior roof is made with tiled mosaic and is influenced by the elements of the Achaemenid period and the Ferdowsi era. The walls of the building were completely decorated with rocks from the birch area. The general board of the building announces the tomb of Cyrus the Great in Pasargad. Now the Tomb of Gardens, which has about six acres of land, and a museum and library, annually accepts more than one million Ferdowsi enthusiasts.
However, Iran's literary critics do not consider this collection to be Ferdowsi's dignity and they are seeking to develop and build this building. Tous Museum or Ferdowsi Museum of Mashhad: Tous Museum, located in the cultural complex of Ferdowsi Mausoleum Garden, is divided into four parts:
1.    The works of archeological excavations from the Tous plain, which include parts of the pottery of the Islamic era and pre-Islamic periods, and the coins of gold and silver of the Islamic period, and others.
2.    Includes works that are manifestations of the epic and epic soporific spirit. A variety of horse-drawn carriages, including shields, wings, arrows, musical instruments and martial arts, are well known in Shahnameh.
3.    objects made in the era of Ferdowsi (4th and 5th centuries). This section includes a variety of bronze ware.
4.    Includes donations. Types of paintings from Ferdowsi's face, the works of paintings by Ali Rokhsaz's paintings of Shahnameh's stories, types of carpets and rugs, and all kinds of fine arts in this section.
