- Haron MziriDuhok, Iraq119 contributionshe Aliyev Museum in Baku offers an insightful glimpse into Azerbaijan's history and Heydar Aliyev's legacy. Its well-curated exhibits, modern design, and engaging displays make it a must-visit for those interested in the country's political and cultural evolution. The interactive features and multimedia presentations bring Aliyev’s life and achievements to life, providing a deeper understanding of his role in shaping Azerbaijan. However, more English translations would enhance accessibility for international visitors. Overall, it's an impressive tribute to a pivotal figure in the nation's history.Written September 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- dgjohanssonRonneby, Sweden1,621 contributionsThis came as a nice surprise. I wouldn't go in unless it was included in the tour I took, but I'm glad I went inside. It's a well designed museum with some live demonstrations about how the carpets are made. Quite interesting and a fascination design both on the inside and outside of the museum.

- YacovHerzlia_IsraelHerzlia, Israel97 contributionsThe complex itself is less than a hour’s drive from Baku,and includes three separate museums.One is the Ethnographic Museum a kind of open air museum,the second is a Museum of Antiques, and the third is Castle Museum.
Based on our tour guide recommendations we visited only the Ethnographic Museum.Entry fee just for this museum is 10 Manat.The place is quite good organized and allows to the visitors seeing different layers of how rural Azerbaijan people lived in past.You’ll need to see all about 30-40 minutes.
Near the complex is a unique art museum who probably is not belonging to the complex but just to see this museum ,is worth coming here.The entry to this wonderful museum is free of charge.The museum has two floors where artworks made of recycled materials are displayed.(see below)Written June 5, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The Museum entry fee was 10 manat whereas there were additional charges for photography and guide.

- Tina MSohar, Oman279 contributionsA very reasonable entrance fee with a huge collection. As with modern art, not all to our taste. We enjoyed the few Picasso pieces and Salvatore Dali.

- Moskvichka12Moscow, Russia616 contributionsYou don't really need to buy a ticket unless you want selfies beside the rocks. The view from the balcony above is good enough. Some nice stone carvings.
