Recently I had a chance to visit the Museum of Azerbaijani Carpet, and I was very impressed by this wonderful place. The museum is located in a building made in the form of a rolled carpet, which immediately attracts attention and creates an atmosphere of mystery.
Inside the museum there is a huge collection of Azerbaijani carpets made in different techniques and styles. The guide told us about the intricacies of weaving pile and lint-free carpets and showed us how these works of art are created. I especially remember the story that a dragon is often depicted on carpets, and if you see a mysterious figure on the carpet, you can most likely say that it is him.
In general, the Museum of Azerbaijani Carpets is a wonderful place for those who are interested in the culture and traditions of Azerbaijan, and also want to learn more about the history and art of carpet weaving! :)

The museum is a must-visit in all guidebooks and is located at the intersection of the main tourist arteries. Carpet art is a cultural heritage, of course, but in general the museum is a bit boring, even with an audio guide. The prices in the souvenir shop are simply cosmic, it is not possible to buy anything in it, but it is a pity. The building has an original shape, but the interior space is not used functionally. The ticket price is very reasonable, it makes up for everything
The Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum was established on March 13, 1967. At the time of its creation, it was the only specialized carpet museum in the world. Everything is interesting here. The building itself is built in the form of a carpet rolled into a roll. The guide told us very interestingly and in detail about the history of carpet weaving. The meaning of the drawings on the carpets. Natural dyes were used. There are antique carpets on display and new ones.
