Nizami Ganjavi Museum
Nizami Gəncəvi Muzeyi
A themed museum completed in 2019 beside the Nizami Mausoleum. It presents the poet's life through manuscript facsimiles, miniature paintings and multimedia displays.
The Nizami Ganjavi Museum was funded by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and opened beside the Nizami Mausoleum complex in 2019. The building is a modern stone structure. Its galleries introduce Nizami's life and his Khamsa (Five Poems): The Treasury of Secrets, Khusrau and Shirin, Layla and Majnun, The Seven Beauties and The Book of Alexander. Displays include facsimiles of historical manuscripts, miniature paintings, carpets and artworks inspired by his poetry, along with interactive multimedia presentations. It's a good addition after visiting the mausoleum, and takes about an hour. Opening hours and ticket prices are subject to change, so check on site.
