At the Azerbaijan National Museum of Art, the buildings are part of the experience. The museum occupies historic premises close to the Old City, bringing artworks into rooms with a character of their own. Its collections include work from Azerbaijan as well as other artistic traditions.
It can be interesting to notice the conversation between a work and the room around it: the proportions, the decoration and the way paintings or sculptures are displayed. You do not have to see everything in one visit. Check the current exhibitions and which buildings or galleries are open, then choose the parts that most interest you.
