Azerbaijan Carpet Museum Audio Guides

Azerbaijan Carpet Museum explores a craft that has long been part of the country’s domestic and artistic life. Carpets were made for everyday use as well as decoration, and their patterns and techniques help tell the stories of different Azerbaijani regions. The museum brings these traditions together through carpets and other woven works, alongside ceramics and costumes that add context to the objects on display. Its building is a landmark in its own right: shaped like a rolled carpet, it makes the museum’s purpose clear before you step inside. Look beyond the finished designs to the skill involved in weaving them—the collections offer a way to understand carpet-making as a living cultural practice, not simply a style of furnishing.
