A huge museum offering pieces from prehistory through nearly modern day. As a tourist in the country, this was a great stop on day two of the country, so I could get better context on the nation of Azerbaijan and its people.
I came here quite late (16:55) so I didn't have to wait long. It was an amazing experience but since I was late (the museum closes at 18:00) the staff waited for me and they seemed really happy to be able to go home 10 minutes earlier. I couldn't enjoy the museum because of that but overall, fascinating. It's a huge place so I recommend arriving 2-3 hours earlier if you really wanna get to feel the full experience of being in a museum.
A really beautiful and quite informative museum, one of the better ones I have seen.
Was tinned by the beauty of this building, other than a great collection of exhibits I could easily spend the entire afternoon wandering around.
The highlight was saved at last for the indoor display of the palace, including a dining room, an office and a bedroom.

This was a very nice museum. Things were explained pretty well on signs, and there is an option to get a guide for a small fee.
If you're at all interested, plan for a couple of hours.

To me this was one of the best museums in Baku. It doesn’t seem that big but it has a lot to see inside. Museum employees were super nice. I’d recommend to buy the ticket with the guide because the story has an important role.
Lot to learn and know here. Please consider at least 2 hours to properly go through everything.
Entry fee is 15 manat per person for tourists and we can get a guide for 15 manat

I went to the house museum of Haji Zeynalabid Taghiyev. The ticket for students was 2 manats. It was wonderful, according to the guide, each room was designed in a different style, and a total of 6 design styles were used. but they did not have much understanding about it. The point that I did not like at all was the disrespect of the employees to the guests. I was seriously disturbed by their private conversations or telephone conversations while walking around the museum.
