متحف بيت قار قاراييف, Music memorial museum in central Baku, Azerbaijan.

The Gara Garayev House Museum is a memorial to the Azerbaijani composer located in central Baku. The rooms contain personal items, musical instruments, photographs, and handwritten manuscripts that document his life and artistic work.

The museum opened on 1 October 2018, the centenary of Gara Garayev's birth, in the apartment at 49 Nizami Street where he lived from 1918 to 1946. The culture minister Abulfas Garayev, deputy prime minister Ali Ahmadov, Firangiz Alizade of the Composers' Union, Farhad Badalbeyli of the Baku Music Academy and the writer Anar attended the opening, where a short book on Garayev from the "Prominent Figures of Azerbaijan" series was presented.

The rooms display original scores and recordings from Garayev's ballet, symphonic, and chamber works, showing the range of his creative output. You can see how these compositions were developed in the spaces where he worked.

The museum is at Nizami Street 49, in the centre of Baku, in the flat where Gara Garayev lived from 1918 to 1946. It opened on 1 October 2018, on the composer's 100th birthday, and is run by the Ministry of Culture. Look for the building entrance on Nizami Street and allow time to read the labels on the more than 300 exhibits.

The museum holds over 300 exhibits, including documents, manuscripts and photographs brought from Moscow's State Archive of Literature and Art. A bust of Pyotr Tchaikovsky in the collection was a gift to Garayev from his mother-in-law, Yelezaveta Mixaylovna.
