It’s complicated, on one hand the museum is actually quite cute and informative. But on the other hand you have staff who are incredibly rude, unprofessional and willing to straight up lie. I feel bad for the artisan who slaves away as the staff gab loudly blocking the art :/

The place wasn't very crowded. The staff are nice and whenever we were passing by, they were standing up to be polite and responsive. The ticket price was 20 azn.

A must-visit place when you are in Baku. The building is unique, the carpet collection is stunning and, of course, the souvenir shop collection is so tempting! Beautiful museum. Entrance ticket is 10 Manat (equivalent to 5-6€)/person.

They just display some of their carpets and their culture and history. It’s now worthy compare to ticket prices for a foreigner

The museum shaped like a rolled carpet! Unfortunately, the architecture of the museum ended up being my favorite part of the visit. The museum is fine, but there’s not actually that much area for exhibits, and it’s really just a bunch of carpets.

Wow! My sister and I went here and were blown away. To start, a knowledgeable specialist named Negus guided me through the different types of rugs, explaining their origins and the textiles behind each style. The museum is incredibly informative, and the staff was absolutely kind and welcoming. I highly recommend visiting!

Very kind staff, interesting exhibition, and beautiful carpets all on one place! Unless you are really into carpets, the small section in Heydar Aliyev Center may be enough for you, but if you want to find out more about this art form, you will want to explore this quaint museum with a great architecture.

The museum is a different experience as carpet museums are not very common, the museum is also built in the shape of a folded carpet, inside they try to show history and carpet related information but it's not much thorough, on many displayed items they are not tagged with the numbers as the description of the objects is their but not according to what is what (a basic of any museum). Beautiful samples of carpets are displayed. There is a small cafeteria and a souvenir shop too at the entrance. Shop is relatively a bit expensive.
