The museum is great for those who are interested in applied art and the history of the people. Many thanks to the guide Samira for an interesting story. The exhibits are beautiful, everything is clear. It would be interesting to see more national costumes - there are not many of them. It was not possible to take an audio guide (they said at the checkout that it was not available). And in general, thank you for the positive emotions!!!

A great place to hide from the sweltering heat and sip the local flavor. Inside there is a coffee shop, a coworking, a library, a souvenir shop, luggage storage and, of course, a museum exhibit. In my opinion, it is better to go with a guide or an audio guide — I was without them, and there was a great lack of explanations of the symbolism of ornaments and images on carpets. There are explanatory signs somewhere (in English and Azerbaijani), but the time was limited, so I missed a lot — the place was still amazing. There are few people, national music is playing, and women are weaving carpets in life mode. I want to come back here!

I liked the carpets more in the Heydar Aliyev Center. There are wonderful plots, bright colors and a sufficient story. The carpet museum has a fairly large space, there are carpets from past centuries, technologies and tools are presented, how carpets were woven, how wool was obtained. If I had only seen the exhibition at the Heydar Aliyev Center, I would have had more than enough impressions. I would advise you to look at the carpet museum from the street and go spend money elsewhere)
