Milli İncəsənət Muzeyi

The richest state collection of European, Eastern and Azerbaijani painting, in two historic mansions.

The richest state collection of European, Eastern and Azerbaijani painting, in two historic mansions. The collection is built for unhurried viewing: each hall tells its own story and introduces one more layer of Azerbaijani culture.

Alongside the permanent exhibition there are temporary shows, guided tours and educational programmes for children. Guided visits can be booked in advance; check the photography rules at the entrance.

Milli İncəsənət Muzeyi is in Baku at Niyazi küçəsi 9-11. Entry is inexpensive (level ₼). Many museums close on Mondays — check opening hours before you go, and allow one to two hours for a full visit.
