Inner Courtyard:

The interior structure, located in the northern side of the inner courtyard, includes the following spaces:

• Qajar Room (Winter Hall): Professor Moghaddam adorned this room with valuable artworks, including Qajar-era tiles, wall paintings from the Zand and Qajar periods, such as a fireplace from Naser al-Din Shah's resting place, a gypsum arch, glass paintings, and more. Due to its decorations, it is called the Qajar Room. This room displays a collection of documents, personal seals, medals, and awards received by Professor Moghaddam and his wife.

• Reception Room: This room served as the main living area for Mohsen Moghaddam and his wife Salma. Currently, the room showcases a collection of Mohsen Moghaddam's paintings with various themes, as well as several inkstands, boxes, and papier-mâché items.

• Blue and White Tile Exhibition: This space houses a collection of blue and white tiles created by Professor Moghaddam. Some of these artifacts are imported, while others belong to the Safavid and Qajar periods.

• Temporary Exhibition: Currently, this space is used for temporary exhibitions held by the museum. Visitors can explore various exhibitions that take place in this hall on different occasions by following the museum's news.

• Prehistoric Pottery Exhibition: This exhibition showcases 94 pottery artifacts from prehistoric times. Among them, 14 pieces belong to the Chalcolithic period and are attributed to the Ganj Dareh Hill in Nahavand, while the remaining 80 pieces consist of gray pottery attributed to the Iron Age sites in the Dilman region and the Khurvin area.

• Basement: In the early stages of constructing Moghaddam Museum House, this space was used as a bathhouse and storage area. However, during Mohsen Moghaddam's lifetime, it lost its functionality and transformed into a storage room. Currently, it has been renovated and restored to serve as a repository for historical artifacts of the museum.

• Veranda: This Veranda has an outer appearance in the form of two satyrs with Iranian gypsum work on four columns adorned with Kufic script. It is accessible from the courtyard through two spiral staircases and has preserved its original form. The decorations of this space were executed by Professor Moghaddam, using multicolored Safavid tiles, Zand and Qajar mirrorwork, and carved and brick Qajar and Pahlavi tiles.
