Baku Museum of Modern Art, Art museum in Baku, Azerbaijan.

The Baku Museum of Modern Art is an art museum in Azerbaijan housing over 800 works displayed along open passages and angled walls. The spatial arrangement creates multiple viewing angles for each piece on view.

The museum opened on 20 March 2009, built on the initiative of Mehriban Aliyeva, First Lady of Azerbaijan, and funded by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation she heads. President Ilham Aliyev, UNESCO Director-General Koichiro Matsuura and other officials attended the opening. The Russian Wikipedia credits the Pashayev family with patronage support. The building was conceived as the centre of an "eco-cultural zone" planned by Thomas Krens, former director of the Guggenheim Foundation, alongside a white-sand beach, a Frank Gehry skyscraper and a walkway projecting over the Caspian Sea.

The museum has no fixed subject areas, so Azerbaijani avant-garde works of the 1960s and 1970s hang near pieces by Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso and Marc Chagall from private collectors. A separate hall is reserved for Western European art, and a children's fine arts department runs alongside it. Photographers such as Elnur Babayev and Fakhriya Mammadova are regularly shown.

The museum has a children's fine arts department, a video hall, a library, and a bookstore with materials on world art, architecture, and sculpture. A café and a restaurant are also on site, and a separate hall is reserved for private exhibitions.

The building uses an unusual design that eliminates traditional hallways in favor of metallic structures and white surfaces. This forward-looking layout connects different exhibition areas in an unexpected way.
