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.
