The 10 Best Art Galleries in Baku, Absheron Region
The historical center of Baku reveals its tumultuous past, from its roots as a Persian capital, through its oil boom to its Soviet occupation. The old city is a maze of alleys, mosques, historic buildings and remnants of fortification, including the Palace of the Shirvanshahs and the Maiden Tower, now listed among UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. Much more than a historic site, the city hosts vibrant arts and cultural activities, as well as a bustling modern business sector.

The Gazelli Art House in Azerbaijan, originally established to support and display the work of Azeri artists, now runs a programme of international exhibitions. Established by Mila Askarava in 2003, with the London gallery opening in 2012, it is a bonus when the Gallery brings Azeri artists to London as in the recent exhibition of the work of Ashsraf Murad and Farhad Khalilov, giving them a recognition they deserve. Ashraf Murad is one of those unknown, but inspirational, figures of the art world, which you can understand as you look into the depths of his paintings which are a commentary about his difficult life. Alongside the work of Farhad Khalilov, born 20 years after Murad, displayed his bold expansive geometric landscapes that provided a note of drama as visitors walked past the gallery windows. Given the modern interconnected world, it is good to have lifted the curtain a little on the art and the recent history of artistic endeavour in Azerbaijan.
