Museum of Miniature Books Audio Guides

The Museum of Miniature Books sits within Baku’s historic Old City, where its tiny volumes offer an unusual perspective on book collecting and publishing. Its collection brings together thousands of miniature books from more than 60 countries, offering a glimpse of literary traditions across languages and borders. Visitors can find editions of works associated with Shakespeare, Mark Twain and Don Quixote alongside religious texts, including miniature Qurans, and Soviet-era books. Some volumes are so small that their pages are difficult to make out without magnification. For visitors coming from Badamdar, the museum combines a distinctive look at global book culture with a walk through one of Baku’s most historic districts.
