The National History Museum of Azerbaijan is the country's largest museum and is located in the capital, Baku. The museum is housed in the former residence of wealthy oil magnate and philanthropist Haji Zeynalabdin Taghiyev, a magnificent building that is a landmark in itself.

The Collection

The museum offers a comprehensive overview of Azerbaijan's history, from antiquity to the present. The collection comprises over 300,000 objects, including archaeological finds, numismatics (coins and banknotes), and ethnographic objects. Only a portion of the collection is on permanent display, but the exhibits provide a detailed picture of the country's rich and diverse history.

A separate section of the museum is dedicated to the life and work of the building's original owner, Haji Zeynalabdin Taghiyev, showcasing the splendor of his former home. This makes the museum not only a place to learn about history but also a glimpse into the lives of Baku's wealthy elite at the beginning of the 20th century.

The museum is an important center for both research and education, offering visitors the opportunity to discover and appreciate Azerbaijan's cultural heritage.
