The National Museum of the History of Azerbaijan. If you are in Baku, it is definitely worth visiting this iconic place. The museum is located in the house of the famous industrialist, oil magnate Haji Tagiyev. The exposition of the history of Azerbaijan is actually located in one half of the house. The second half of the house tells about Tagiyev's life and you can see the rooms in which this famous man lived.
Tagiyev's story is gorgeous! If you go, be sure to take a guide, it's not so interesting without him. The history of Azerbaijan goes from primitive times to the present day. Of course, they do not like the Soviet times, well, as it is. Tagiyev's rooms are captivating!

The museum is located in the mansion of the oil magnate G. Tagiyev. On the second floor, his living and reception rooms have been restored and are on display.
This is the best museum I have visited in Baku! There is a rich collection of ancient artifacts found in the region.
It's great that you can order a museum guide service. It costs 10 manats (entrance ticket is 15 manats), the tour lasts an hour and a half.
I was lucky, I was alone and the guide explained everything to me individually. I recommend a guided visit, it will be much more interesting!
