Azerbaijan State Museum of Art
About This Museum
People often wander into our museum seeking a quiet moment away from the city's bustle, but they quickly find themselves pulled into a vibrant story told through paint and canvas. It’s a place where you can trace the soul of Azerbaijan in one room, from the delicate patterns of our traditional carpets rendered in oil to the powerful, modern works that emerged in the 20th century. Then, just when you feel rooted here, you turn a corner and are greeted by the grand masters of Europe—it’s a delightful surprise. You leave feeling you haven't just seen art, but have had a long, fascinating conversation with Baku itself.
Collection Highlights
You'll be captivated by the brilliant colors of our national artists like Sattar Bahlulzade, whose landscapes feel like pure Azeri sunlight. Don't miss the European collection either; it holds delicate porcelain and works by artists who traveled through the Caucasus.
Visitor Information
It's tucked away on Niyazi Street, a pleasant stroll from Fountains Square. The building has that classic Baku elegance, so even before you step inside, you know you're somewhere special.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a handsome late-19th century building that was once a private mansion, it perfectly blends Italian Renaissance elegance with local character.
