The National Museum of History of Azerbaijan
The Azerbaijan National History Museum first opened to the public in 1921, and since then, over 300,000 artifacts have become part of the collection. Among them are important documents that shaped the history of Azerbaijan, weapons, jewelry, clothing, exquisite handmade carpets, old books, and much more.
The whole first floor is dedicated to more ancient history, featuring items found on archaeological digs and on the floor of the Caspian Sea. These items show the technical mastery and development of Azerbaijani culture, even as it was centuries ago, and also how connected Azerbaijan was with the rest of the world. The second floor includes some rooms of the preserved palace, plus more exhibits and documents from modern history.
