A magnificent building, magnificent interiors in the part where world art is located. The interiors are in perfect condition. The halls are equipped with the latest museum technology. The collection of world art is quite meager, eclectic, and there are many copies. Russian art stands out: there is Aivazovsky (not the sea), Shishkin, Korovin, Makovsky, Borovikovsky, Tropinin, Lentulov, Rozanova, Antokolsky, Opekushin, etc. The collection of Azerbaijani paintings is specific, it gives a certain idea of the fine arts of Azerbaijan. In general, it's worth going if you have time and you love painting. Clearly not a masterpiece of Baku.

A beautiful museum, a rich exposition.
Basically, you can go directly to the 3rd floor and temporary exhibitions. It is the art of Azerbaijan that is there. On the 1st and 2nd floors there are works of art from Iran, China, Russia, Holland, Italy, France. This is something that many museums in other countries have, in my opinion.
Temporary exhibitions - a separate ticket for 3 manats.
An interesting feature is that here in Baku, the caretakers follow you. As I understand it, they have 1 caretaker on half a floor and that's why they literally follow you. Anyway, that's how it was with us.

We are very glad that we were able to visit the museum, despite the New Year's Eve schedule. The museum has an interesting collection of works of art by both world authors and Azerbaijani culture. We purchased a ticket for 10 manats for the main exhibitions. We watched the exhibition of world culture on the 1st and 2nd floors, as well as Azerbaijani culture on the 3rd and 4th floors. I recommend it to everyone to visit!

The National Museum of Art of Azerbaijan. The entrance ticket traditionally costs 10 manats for foreign citizens. Plus, if you want to get to temporary exhibitions, this is another three manats for each exhibition. A wonderful museum. I don't understand why citizens have so much negativity from visiting this museum. In my opinion, everything is very wonderful. You will find what you are looking for. The art of France, Holland, Germany and of course Russian art. There are many works by local Azerbaijani artists. You can talk for a long time about what you like and what you don't like. In my opinion, it's a matter of taste. Just come and enjoy the world's masterpieces of art. The words in the reviews are a useless element, you just need to come and see with your own eyes.

The exposition is small, located on two floors. There are beautiful interiors and a collection of paintings inside. Plus there are 2-3 temporary exhibitions. I recommend taking an audio guide.
The ticket price is 10 manat
In addition to cash, the union pay card is accepted for payment
On Saturday, the museum was open from 11:00 a.m.

A good museum with works by a wide variety of masters of their craft, from world-famous to local. The exposition is extensive, even a quick walk takes about an hour.

The building is wonderful, the interiors are beyond praise, the staff are polite and pleasant. The gallery itself is not bad, but I don't really like these trends, which are represented in world painting. But I conquered the underground of Azerbaijani authors and in general, I like the paintings of local masters. Anyway, I recommend to visit, especially on a rainy, cold day. By the way, it's too hot inside, so you can leave everything in the wardrobe of the lovely employees and go in a T-shirt to absorb art. There are a lot of ceramics, porcelain, and crystal. Carpets and metal products are presented in an interesting way. In general, I liked the filling of the second building (the art of Azerbaijan).

It's not a bad museum. Connoisseurs of painting are recommended to visit. It is surprising that under a far-fetched pretext they may not be allowed into one of the halls. There aren't many visitors, the caretakers are following you around. But they are benevolent

It is the best museum in Baku in terms of the wealth of expositions. I will not tell you - it is necessary to go and take a guide. The head is Rafael Huseynov, not an ordinary, outstanding man, our contemporary and a guide of great culture through time! Thanks to the museum staff! Chokhsau!

This museum exhibits a truly masterpiece painting - the panel "Humanity to you" by Tahir Salakhov. There is something to be proud of!!! Fans of Tahir Teimurovich Salakhov and just all people should definitely see it.

The Art Gallery of Azerbaijan. It is located in two buildings - one presents the art of local craftsmen, the other mansion - world art. You can take a guide (costs 12 manats, 1.5 hours).
I went with a tour guide, but I still didn't really like the collections. Paintings by local artists were not impressed, world art is a small collection. I liked the Russian painting in the last halls the most.

I really liked it! It is not very large, but the exhibition presents both Azerbaijani and world artists. A large collection of famous Russian authors. The entrance costs 10 manats, and you can book an excursion on request

Today I decided to go to one of the museums located in Baku, the Azerbaijan National Art Museum. It was my first time in a museum in Baku, and I didn't like a lot of things. Firstly, when buying a ticket, it was said that if you take pictures, you have to pay 5 manats per person. Since we are students, our pass cost 2 manats, so we bought a ticket for 2 manats. While walking around the museum, the staff following us said that we were not allowed to take pictures unless we bought a ticket to take pictures. Of course, I didn't like that it was, usually photographing in museums is allowed or strictly prohibited, but here you need to pay more to take pictures. It's the first time I've come across this, it's a very stupid rule. Secondly, there was no necessary information on all the exhibits, and thirdly, the personnel who walk and watch you at your heels all the time, of course, this bothers a person, because they do not let you walk around the museum calmly, they look at a person with a dissatisfied look. While we were walking around the museum, one of the staff was sitting on one of the exhibition chairs in the assembly hall on the second floor. Two visitors entered the hall and sat down on chairs because they were tired, but the staff reacted aggressively and ordered the visitors to stand up. If this is an exhibit, then the staff must follow the same rules as the visitors!
In short, the museum and exhibits were interesting, but everything that happened spoiled my impression.

Alas, this is one of the worst fine arts museums I've seen. The museum has no concept, a very fragmented display, very weak attributions, no fundamental bright spots, no presentation of its own...

In my opinion, not the most interesting gallery in general, I would not go again. But there is one painting there that is worth seeing - this is Salakhov's painting "To You, Humanity".
