House of Mehmandarovs, House museum in Shusha, Azerbaijan.

The House of Mehmandarovs is a palace-type residential complex in Shusha's Taza quarter, enclosed by stone walls. It comprises a large 19th-century house, a small 19th-century house and a family mosque. The large house has a square plan: three of its four second-floor rooms open onto a rear veranda, while the projecting guest hall faces the main facade.

The complex belonged to the Mehmandarov family and consists of a large 19th-century residence, a small residence and a family mosque. Under Soviet rule the large house held the Shusha city hospital and the small one the Shusha History Museum. During the Armenian-controlled period the mosque became a geology museum; after 2020 restoration began, and the complex reopened on 9 May 2023.

The murals in the large house and family mosque were painted by Usta Gambar Karabagi and recall those of the Sheki Khans' Palace. In the small room he used a motif found nowhere else: birds on branches without the usual column divisions. Art historian N. M. Miklashevskaya judged these paintings finer than their models.

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 shebeke filling the hall's facade wall is compared by art historian N. M. Miklashevskaya to the shebeke of the Sheki Khans' Palace; its openwork lattice with small coloured panes forms stars and circles. In the small room, Usta Gambar Karabagi used a bird-and-branch motif he repeated nowhere else.
