Mikayil Musfig museum is situated on the way of the Khizi and Altiagaj. You can see his museum and get information about his life, family and etc. Because his life was very sad and his death was very tragic. This person was the victim of Soviet repression. You can see on this way the home museum of Jafar Jabbarly too. This person was the popular playwright of Azerbaijan Republic. The same time the colorful mountains of Khizi and the natural resources of our republic. Especially the national park of Altiagaj.

We visited the literature museum one afternoon. The staff seemed a little shell shocked that we went in but the visit was well worth taking your shoes off for the tour. The young guide was very well versed in the history and while simple the exhibits were beautifully displayed. The interior of the building is stunning. Well worth taking the time to visit. We learnt so much of the countries rich history.

Beautifully presented in a way that only oil money can achieve. Quite apart from the fact that a historically-significant building was removed to make way for this, the design seems antithetical to what is actually quite a serious museum. The contents are, quite simply, fabulous - an amazing collection of subtle art and craftsmanship spanning centuries. Including, at the end, several Faig Ahmed creations which, if I had a spare $50k, i would be very tempted by. The gift shop is of the usual high quality with some very good collections of postcards of the museum contents.

10. House Museum of Nobel Brothers in Baku Villa Petrolea
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 27 reviews
Villa Petrolea was built in Baku by Ludvig and Emanuel Nobel in the 1880s. They chose this location for their opulent mansion to be in the middle of their production fields to have better control and oversight of their oil production and their company Branobel. Several generations of Nobels lived and were born in this mansion. Today, the villa has been restored to its former glory by the Baku Nobel Heritage Fund, and serves as a museum that preserves and promotes the Nobel heritage, wider East-West relations, and shows the lives of quintessential oil barons.
