House of Abdulla Shaig, museum in Baku, Azerbaijan

The House of Abdulla Shaig occupies a five-room apartment on the second floor of a building erected in 1905 at 21 Abdulla Shaig Street. Its four exhibition rooms follow the apartment's original layout: the former kitchen now displays his books and translations, another room covers his family, a third his teaching and drama work, and the fourth is his study with his desk and library. The museum fund holds about 8,000 items.

Abdulla Shaig moved into the five-room second-floor flat on Verkhnyaya Nagornaya Street in 1916 and lived there until the end of 1957. The building itself dates from 1905. In 1990 the Council of Ministers of the Azerbaijan SSR decreed a museum in the flat, with Shaig's elder son, academician Kamal Talibzade, taking part in its creation. It opened in December 1991, and the main exhibition was inaugurated in January 2001.

The house shows how much Shaig mattered to literature and education in Azerbaijan. His works and personal items give visitors a sense of his life as a writer and teacher who cared about sharing knowledge and human values.

The museum occupies the second floor of a five-room apartment at 21 Abdulla Shaig Street, in the building where the writer lived from 1916 to 1957. The street was formerly called Upper Mountain Street and was renamed in 1981 for his centenary. The museum opened in December 1991, and its exhibition was inaugurated in January 2001.

The museum's collection runs to about 8,000 items, including manuscripts, original photographs, theatre posters and programmes, and first printings of Shaig's works in periodicals. Its director is his granddaughter Ulker Talibzade, the third of the family to hold the post after Kamal Talibzade (1991–2006) and Rafiga Talibzade (2006–2009).
