The Azerbaijan Carpet Museum looks like a rolled up carpet. The museum was founded in 1967 and has around 10,000 carpets in its collection. The new carpet museum opened in 2014 and was designed by Austrian Franz Janz. The museum shows how carpets are made and presents the most important carpets in the collection. The Carpet Museum of Baku is well worth seeing because you can see not only traditional patterns, but also modern motifs such as pipelines, people and machines.
