Mausoleum of Huseyn Javid

Mausoleum of Huseyn Javid, Literary memorial in Nakhchivan, Azerbaijan.

The Mausoleum of Huseyn Javid stands in central Nakhchivan on the site of a small park laid out in front of the poet's one-storey house, now a museum. Designed by architect Rasim Aliyev and sculptor Omar Eldarov, it is built of white marble in two parts: an upper hall and a lower vault. A star-patterned lattice lights the vault, and a white marble bust of Javid by Eldarov stands in a niche above the glass-covered grave.

The mausoleum was built in 1996 under the initiative of President Heydar Aliyev as a resting place for the influential poet Javid. The project was part of a wider effort to preserve and honor important figures in Azerbaijani culture.

Huseyn Javid's remains were brought from Siberia to Baku and then to Nakhchivan in October 1982, and buried in front of his own house, now a museum. The mausoleum opened on 29 October 1996, the 114th anniversary of his birth, with President Heydar Aliyev speaking at the ceremony.

The mausoleum stands in a small park laid out in front of the one-storey house where Huseyn Javid lived, now a museum. Visitors climb steps onto the stylobate platform to reach the upper hall; the grave itself lies on the lowest level, seen through a glass cover. The white marble bust by Omar Eldarov sits in a niche on the glass cover's axis.

Javid died in Siberian exile in 1941; his remains were brought from Siberia to Baku and then to Nakhchivan on 26 October 1982 and reburied in front of his house. His wife Mishkinaz khanim was moved from Baku and his son Ertoghrul from Nakhchivan into the vault by Heydar Aliyev's instruction of 13 September 1996.
