Azerbaijan's fabulous Carpet museum - Baku. A pictorial display.

To give a historical background, I have placed 14 photos taken at another museum in Baku  before the Carpet Museum photos. 

Two beautiful carpets as examples of their technical expertise. 

Here are the exhibits from the Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum.

For those interested in the wool process, here are some snippets

The carpet museum has used its full length for display of large carpets from 

across the country.

The Museum covers carpet art development stages, carpet groups, types and ornaments. It interprets harmony between carpet art and lifestyle; ideals and outlook of the nation as well as state of the present day carpet weaving industry. It really shows the awesome art created through carpets by the Azerbaijani people. It is a must visit place in Baku.

Guides who have been really helpful to us - perhaps you can use their services......

Friday, October 31, 2025

Greetings

We have been very fortunate in getting good guides (and drivers) during our international travels. They have been knowledgeable, warm and friendly and not the sort to look at the clock. They have also been helpful especially to my wife and myself as we have had issues negotiating steps in recent years !  Their local knowledge is tremendous and this does help in appreciating the country or city that you are visiting.

I am sure that you would like to use the services of these wonderful dedicated people and hope that you find it useful. They are all linked in and so will be able to help you find someone in their city if they cant come themselves. Feel free to share it with your friends as these hard-working folk need all the support post Covid. Cheers. Safe travelling.

To ensure you get the right person, and not someone else sent to you, I have attached their photographs.
