Historical-ethnographic museum of Khinalig village

Historical-ethnographic museum of Khinalig village, Mountain village museum in Quba Rayon, Azerbaijan.

The Historical-Ethnographic Museum of Khinalig was founded in 2001 by villager Khalil-Rahman Abdurrahman oglu Jabbarov, who gathered the collection with the help of fellow residents. It occupies a building reminiscent of a historical castle and covers 160 square metres across two halls. Exhibits include carpets and kilims, household utensils, pottery and ceramic dishes, stone books, and manuscripts from the 15th to 19th centuries. Works by the poet Rahim Alkhas, a native of the village, are displayed at the entrance.

Khalil-Rahman Abdurrahman oglu Jabbarov, a resident of Khinalig, founded the museum in 2001 with the help of fellow villagers, who donated carpets, kilims, pottery, stone books and manuscripts. The manuscript books date from the 15th to the 19th centuries and show that the village's past was closely tied to scholarship.

The entrance displays works by Rahim Alkhas, a poet born in Khinalig. Inside, the two halls hold carpets and kilims, clay and ceramic dishes, household utensils and stone books gathered from village homes. Manuscripts from the 15th to 19th centuries are the collection's most noted exhibits.

The museum sits in Khinalug village at 2,300–2,500 m above sea level, reached by mountain road from Quba. Its two halls cover 160 m², so a visit takes little time; the entrance displays works by the village-born poet Rahim Alkhas. Bring warm clothing, since conditions at this altitude differ sharply from the lowlands.

The museum's most notable exhibits are manuscript books from the 15th to 19th centuries, which show that the village's past was closely tied to scholarship. These were collected by founder Khalil-Rahman Jabbarov with the help of villagers.
