Definitely a 5* Museum. The architecture is even more stunning as you approach on foot. The gentle curves of outside are continued throughout the interior, so I was immediately met by a feeling of calm. As you meander through each room and exhibits the attention to detail is amazing… i dare you not to smile as you enter the interactive start of musical instruments. This is after a stroll through carpets and costumes of Azerbaijan - a great idea is a magnifying glass on each carpet so you can see the weave. After a cafe stop (to enjoy a delicious tuna roll), we continued downstairs to the Motor Museum.. Wow! Its incredibly interesting .. and had my favourite dream car Mercedes SL 280. All staff throughout were friendly and helpful. Həydər Aliyev museum is fantastic but please be warned. Allow far more time than you think you need, we will be going again

Visited the place when I was in Baku for a congress. The architecture is so amazing that you do not have to put anything inside. On the other hand the exhibitions inside the building are also great such as the various musical instruments or the little Baku

Located a ten minute drive from the city centre this is well worth a visit. Stunning architecture, interesting exhibits and a great coffee shop! Museum gives a great insight into Azerbaijan's history.

Very nice place, many historical landmarks: politicals, war guns, traditional clothes and different music equipments. We like the traditional music and art, it was interesting. The car museum very amazing. הסבר טוב בשפה אנגלית כוללת סרטונים ואנימציה. Adam-israel

I think this should be your number one must to visit place if you ever travel to Baku. Its architecture itself is one of a kind . A photo in front of it is must. Inside you have the modern science and history of Azerbaijan blended in one place. There are some nice exhibits and structures inside . Don't miss to click a picture with I Love Baku with the center in background. Trust me this will be the cover picture of your Azerbaijan Trip

Heydar Aliyev Centre, Baku, Azerbaijan: The Silk Road legacy has always had a magnetic pull on me since a child. Azerbaijan is a mix of the Silk Road romanticism, mixed with Eurasia traditions and now with coffers lined up rich oil money, handsome and ambitious architecture throw up - such as the Heydar Aliyev Center. If you’re a Zaha Hadid fan like me, who has been on her fan trail, you’ll add this to your collection. Sharp angles you won’t see, but undulating curves you will. The fluid form is such a strong stand out, it’s like an architecture pilgrim’s call. Little wonder it made to “Azerbaijan’s Amazing Transformation”. Most spend hours preening their IG shots here. The noteworthy museum is the Vintage Cars museum with a sprawling collection of noteworthy US, Soviet, German and even Ukrainian cars. #eatstylishtravelstylish

Incredible architecture and great exhibitions which range from Baku's history & international relations to local + global art. There are a few interactive parts of the exhibition too. The area outside is made very well, and the I Love Baku sign outside makes this the perfect tourist picture spot too. The price for foreigners was 15 AZN per person - well worth it! We spent about 2 hours exploring.

Pro. Location is slightly far. However bus 5 goes from Nizami street. It's a huge building need to walk a lot. Beautiful architecture building, best designed by late Zaha Hadid. Excellent work. It is going to be a fullday tour or if you are on a hurry, it is nothing less than half day. Museum is well designed. Cons. No power point for mobile users to charge thier mobiles phones. Entry fees slightly over priced. There should be a proper marking start to end. Need places to sit for elderly people on each floor Overall .Worth visiting.
