Museum of Miniature Books
About This Museum
Tucked away in Baku's ancient Inner City, this museum feels like stepping into a secret world of literary Lilliputians. I was completely captivated by the sheer dedication required to create these palm-sized wonders, some so small they come with their own magnifying glasses. The collection is mind-bogglingly vast, with thousands of tiny tomes from all over the globe, each with its own story. It’s a quiet, almost reverent space that makes you appreciate the immense power of a story, no matter its physical size.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the world's tiniest printed book, a version of the Russian classic 'Chizhik-Pyzhik' that's smaller than a matchhead. Another standout is a miniature copy of the Quran so precise it feels like a miracle of craftsmanship.
Visitor Information
It's nestled right in the heart of the Old City (Icherisheher), so it's easy to pop into while exploring Baku's historic core. Just look for the unassuming entrance—the real magic is all inside.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a traditional, centuries-old stone building that perfectly matches the historic character of Baku's walled Old City.
