A millennium of Azerbaijani literature in the magnificent building overlooking Fountains Square.

A millennium of Azerbaijani literature in the magnificent building overlooking Fountains Square. 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.

Nizami Gəncəvi adına Ədəbiyyat Muzeyi is in Baku at İstiqlaliyyət küçəsi 53. 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.
