A huge museum, a very unusual building both outside and inside! I've never seen anything like it before. The museum has several locations with different exhibitions: dolls of different masters, musical instruments of some countries and national ones, costumes from different regions of Azerbaijan, an exhibition of paintings and sculptures of modern art. We were very pleased with the interactive zones of musical instruments, as well as the collection of dolls and, of course, Azerbaijani carpets are a separate kind of art. It is a pity that there is no description in Russian, which makes it difficult to visit independently (without a guide). On the ground floor there are models of some buildings in Azerbaijan, in this area there is a description in Russian on monitors near each layout - thanks a lot for this) Must-visit 100%!
Admission is 15 manats per person, there is no division into adults and children (only up to 6 years old seems to be free).
A great place: outside and inside. If you do not take into account the background (in honor of whom it was built), then the design is my respect. Zaha Hadid's hand is felt everywhere. Beautiful, exquisite and delicious. It is worth seeing this museum just for the sake of architecture. The content - there are questions here. The entrance, turnstiles and the first thing you meet in the museum itself is the back of the angel sculpture. I'm sorry, who is so smart to put sculptures like that? :)) Inside, everything is arranged by floors. Each floor has its own cultural feature: music, carpets, architecture, etc. Considering that the museum is also bioplastic inside, not all passages will lead you to new halls, sometimes it is a dead end passage or not decorated rooms. Finding toilets is a whole quest. If you find it difficult to find a male one, congratulations, now look for a female one. As for the expositions themselves, everything is very good, interesting and informative. A squeeze of all the museums of Baku in one place. There is not enough interactivity, everything is very showy, but it is done with polish. The children liked the museum - it was doubly pleased, usually going to the museum is a torment))) The very design of the halls inside encourages the game, very beautiful photos are obtained. So, I strongly recommend you to visit. / and then ask the locals how they feel about the museum/
The center is very beautiful from the outside, impressive in size, well-maintained territory, good air conditioning inside, spacious and beautiful. You can walk for a long time and look at the expositions and the center itself.
The main disadvantage for me is the lack of description and selection of audio prompts in Russian, it is not clear why they were too lazy to do this.
