Since carpets are everything in Azerbaijan, this museum is about that. Different styles, symbols, colors, interesting architecture. Next to the flower-shaped shopping center, where there is a food court and a supermarket and a park on the embankment. After walking around the museum, you can have a snack nearby and take a walk.
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!
There is a large exposition of national carpets, there are unique antique carpets. Weavers spin carpets in the halls of the museum. A variety of patterns from different regions of Azerbaijan are presented.
