International Mugam Center of Azerbaijan, Modern arts center on Baku Boulevard, Azerbaijan.
The International Mugam Center is a modern cultural building in Baku shaped like a tar, a traditional stringed instrument. The three-story structure contains a concert hall for performances, recording studios, study spaces, and dining facilities for visitors.
The building opened in 2008 as a dedicated space for preserving and promoting mugam music. The genre itself was recognized on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list, establishing it as important cultural property on the world stage.
The center keeps mugam alive as a living art form through regular performances and recitals that visitors can attend. The spaces are designed to highlight this traditional music, making it a place where the genre remains part of everyday cultural life.
The center is located in central Baku and is easily accessible with parking and good transportation connections. Check ahead about scheduled events, as performances vary throughout the year and are not offered daily.
The building was constructed using specialized equipment sourced from manufacturers across Europe and Turkey. These carefully selected components enable high-quality recordings and performances throughout the facility.
