House of Mehmandarovs, House museum in Shusha, Azerbaijan.
The House of Mehmandarovs is a residential building with a square layout and three second-floor rooms that open onto a veranda. The interior spaces throughout are filled with detailed wall murals.
The structure was built in 1701 by architect Karbalayi Safikhan Karabakhi for local nobility. It later served different purposes before becoming a museum.
The interior walls display extensive murals showing birds and plants that match the artistic style found in regional khans' palaces. This decoration reflects the tastes and artistic traditions rooted in the area.
The site is part of a larger complex with several structures undergoing restoration work. When visiting, expect that some areas may be under renovation or have limited access.
The ceremonial hall contains shebeke patterns made from colored glass pieces arranged into stars and circles. This traditional glasswork showcases craftsmanship that rarely survives in such detail.
