Amazing Azerbaijan Tour

In 2000, this walled city became the first location in Azerbaijan to be classified as a world cultural site by UNESCO. Many of the ancient walls and towers are in excellent condition, having been strengthened after the Russian conquest in 1806. As you explore the cobbled streets and alleys of Baku to look for the antique and carpet shops, pause to take in some of the astounding scenery. Your walk will take you past the 11th-century Maiden's Tower, the Djuma Mosque and the Palace of the Shirvanshahs, a jewel of Azerbaijan architecture. Tear your eyes away from the ancient buildings for a while to go on your antiques hunt. There are several galleries full of fascinating items from previous decades and centuries. One of the area’s principle attractions are the carpet shops, set in numerous locations along the small alleyways. Azerbaijani rugs and carpets are famous all over the world for their quality, aesthetic appeal and the skill of the workmanship that went into their making.

Even since the beginning, the museum housed not only carpets, but also other Azerbaijani art. Today, there are more than 14,000 exhibits, including rare carpets, exquisite jewelry, clothing, embroidery, delicate glass pieces, wood and felt. The first floor of the museum has flat-weave carpets and various examples of applied arts, including bags and saddles for horses. The second floor is pile carpets from the different regions in Azerbaijan, showing off the unique patterns and designs of this country. The third floor is all about modern designers, the history of the Carpet Museum, and a children’s room.

Carpet museum's building itself is in the shape of a rolled carpet. The new Azerbaijan Carpet Museum was designed by the Austrian architects Franz Janz and Walter Mari.
