An amazing cultural arts centre and museum with amazing exhibitions of art and history. Awesome architecture. One can spend the entire day here just wandering about inside from one exhibition to another. Has a very detailed section on the history of Azerbaijan and its founding father Hyder Aliyev.

Very beautiful place.Near to the city centre. An incredible ambitious project and international architecture. It contains a conference hall, a gallery and a huge museum. It has a mini Azerbaijan history exhibition, which tells you about the architecture and location of Azerbaijan's buildings. Parking is very comfortable. Also the wheelchair and trolley accessible entrance.Out side the centre, very good for kids and adults to enjoy in the green grass and take beautiful pictures.

Very modern museum with mostly high tech projectors and audio system that tells you about the history of country. You must visit if you are in Baku and the entire tour will not take more than 3 hours if you want to know all the details.
