It is a very unusual and therefore extremely interesting museum. It is said to be listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest collection of miniature books in the world. The museum's collection is based on the collection of Zarifa Salakhova, the sister of the famous artist Tahir Salakhov, which has been replenished for many years, with whom we asked to take a picture. The museum features miniature books from various eras, rare editions of Russian writers, including classics.

The concept of the place is very interesting, and it's also interesting to go and look at the books. Considering the location where all tourists pass, it's a big sin not to come here. There is a drawback that can ruin everything - they do not accept cards. If you want to buy a book, walk a kilometer to the nearest ATM, pay a commission, and then pay the seller an amount that is larger than the book itself. It is better to forget about the lack of culture of consumption and visit as a small exhibition for a couple of minutes.

An amazing museum. Be sure to come in, the staff will share the history of creation, and tell you about interesting exhibits. It is located in the house of the creator of the museum, on the ground floor. Zarifa Salakhova is the director and founder of the museum, and has been collecting miniature books for 40 years. Admission is free. Good health and long life to the creator.

It's good that there are guided tours, and everything is free. The books themselves are impressive, I did not expect that there are such small copies made not by a robot, but by a human. I recommend it!

I recommend visiting the museum of miniature books for those who will be thrown into Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. Very interesting exhibits. The creator of the museum is no less interesting. She spent her whole life collecting miniature books, which she managed to collect in the museum with the help of Heydar Aliyev. I am sure that you will be satisfied with your visit.

The museum is located in the Old City, it is very convenient to visit after the Shahinshahs Palace. The collection is huge, there are unique specimens. The visit is free of charge. There are always a lot of people, groups and single tourists go, but there is enough space for everyone. I highly recommend it.

A great interesting museum where you can see books the size of a match head. The museum is free. When you exit, you can leave a donation to the museum, or you can not leave it, it's at your discretion. I don't remember exactly, but the work schedule seems to be from 11-00 to 17-00 and there is some kind of day off.

You know, sometimes you can relax and walk around a small museum.. the mini-books were very beautiful, the Polish books were the smallest, it was not possible to read them, they tried to work on Pushkin, many books from Russia were from him, those who want to relax and look at the books that we once read, I advise!

The museum is of a kind that will look like little else in the world, the books are displayed in very small sizes and in showcases that are divided according to nationalities, in the upper parts of the showcase, the products belonging to which nation are displayed with both the inscription and the flag, as well as religious, world classics, etc. books are displayed in separate showcases, Photos of many important people who have visited the museum before are on the museum walls, The physical space is a little narrow, admission is free, it is possible to buy mini-books in the form of magnets, navigable

An unusual museum. It's worth going in, but the museum staff should definitely be asked to talk about the exhibits, very qualified people work there and tell interesting stories. It's not so interesting without a story.

If you do not want to hear aggression in your address, then I strongly do not recommend coming here! The same owner insults the guests with the words that all the girls of easy virtue (to put it mildly) come from Russia and Kazakhstan. Then she pointed at us tourists. The mood and first impression is spoiled about a vacation in this city.

An employee at the entrance asked where we were from and offered to tell us about the museum. The owner, who was sitting on the right, heard that we were from Russia, rudely cut her off and said, quote: "You don't have to tell them anything, let them watch for themselves, prostitutes from Russia and Kazakhstan are tired." They turned around and left, they didn't watch anything. We did not expect to find such piggishness here. A disgrace.

It is interesting and free on the old streets of Baku. Where in a bright room you can meet masterpieces of printing art from different countries and of course there is a variety of boxes. There was something in the cosmos and in general I recommend going inside.

I'm going to 5, but I ask the organizers to make a sale of any mini-books. After all, publishers are still selling miniature books. I think everyone would have bought a piece from the museum as a keepsake.
