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!
