Shusha Carpet Museum, Carpet museum in Shusha District, Azerbaijan
The museum exhibits traditional Karabakh carpets featuring geometric patterns, floral motifs, and dense textures made from local sheep wool.
Established in 1985 as a branch of the State Museum of Azerbaijani Carpets, the institution operated in General Samad bey Mehmandarov's mansion until 2020.
The collection represents the Karabakh carpet school, displaying thirty-three different compositions that reflect regional weaving techniques and design traditions.
The museum temporarily operates within the Azerbaijan Carpet Museum in Baku while waiting for restoration of its original building in Shusha.
Before the town's occupation in 1992, the museum staff successfully evacuated six hundred carpets, preserving these historical textile artifacts.
