House-Museum of Nariman Narimanov, House museum of an Azerbaijani revolutionary in Yasamal district, Baku, Azerbaijan.
The House-Museum of Nariman Narimanov is a residence in Baku displaying four exhibition rooms with personal belongings, documents, and medical instruments from his life. The rooms organize his work as a physician, writer, and public figure in a chronological manner.
The residence served as Narimanov's home between 1913 and 1918 before being declared a museum in 1977. This transformation preserved the place where an influential figure of the early 20th century lived and worked.
The third room holds Narimanov's personal effects, his furniture and a chandelier, together with an unfinished letter he was writing to his son Najaf. Documents there also cover the deaths of Narimanov and of his son, and the later naming of places and institutions after him.
The museum occupies the second floor of a building at 55 Istiglaliyyat Street, in central Baku. The four exhibition rooms follow one another in sequence, so you can see them in a short visit. The rooms are small, and the restored medical cabinet is set up as it was between 1913 and 1918.
The museum opened on 6 November 1977 in the second-floor flat at what is now Istiglaliyyat Street 55, where Narimanov lived with his family from 1913 to 1918. Heydar Aliyev, then first secretary of the Communist Party of Azerbaijan, cut the opening ribbon. The medical cabinet was reconstructed from the memories of Iltifat khanim, daughter of Narimanov's elder brother Salman.
