The Kandolus Anthropology Museum is one of the non-governmental museums of Mazandaran province, established between 1981 and 1988.[13] The museum is the result of the efforts of Dr. Ali Asghar Jahangiri, a resident of the village who spent his childhood in Kandolus[13]

It houses a diverse collection of artifacts such as agricultural tools, paintings, pottery, and utensils dating from the second millennium BCE to the Qajar period.[14] Additionally, the museum preserves written materials, such as manuscripts, books, copies of the Qur'an, poetry collections, marriage contracts, and various official decrees.

Founded in 1986 by the Kandolus Agricultural Complex, the Museum of Medicinal Plants (also known as the Botanical Garden) was established in order to cultivate, breed, produce, and package medicinal and aromatic plants and extract plant essences and oils.[15]

In 2023, Mehdi Bahvarand, an official from the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Tourism, and Handicrafts, announced that Kandolus was nominated as one of the eight Iranian villages being considered for the title of Global Village, awarded by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO).[16] This recognition highlights a village's cultural and historical value.

Mohammad Valipour, head of the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts, and Tourism Department of Nowshahr, has confirmed that the village's dossier has been submitted to the UNESCO World Heritage site.[15]
