understanding Azerbaijanthrough its captivating past
Housed at its current location since 1976 and named in honour of the esteemed Azerbaijani architect Mikayil Huseynov, the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography’s collection is meticulously curated into two comprehensive sections: ethnography and archaeology. The ethnography section provides a window into the Azerbaijani way of life, displaying artefacts that depict the customs, crafts and everyday activities of the people. Here, visitors can immerse themselves in the social and cultural dynamics that have shaped the identity of Azerbaijan over the years.
The archaeology section allows visitors to go on a journey of discovery to the remnants of primitive societies and the sophisticated material culture of ancient states. The museum vividly illustrates the archaeological milestones that highlight Azerbaijan's notable contributions to human civilization. This section provides a rich repository of objects, offering detailed insights into settlements, gravestone monuments and the artistic endeavours of Azerbaijan's ancestors.
Each exhibit is more than just an artefact, but a narrative piece that weaves together stories of economic development, lifestyle changes and the values that have guided the Azerbaijani people through history. This vibrant educational platform bridges the past and the present, inviting visitors to engage with the historical and cultural legacies of Azerbaijan.
