Nizami Gəncəvi Muzeyi

Nizami Gəncəvi Muzeyi, Literary museum in Ganja, Azerbaijan.

The Nizami Gəncəvi Museum stands on the Baku–Yevlax highway beside the poet's mausoleum in Ganja. It opened in 2014 in a building begun in late 2012 with support from the Heydar Aliyev Foundation. A bust of Nizami faces the entrance, and inside, carpet portraits of Nizami and Mahsati Ganjavi hang in the halls.

Construction of the museum began in late 2012 with support from the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, and it opened in 2014 next to Nizami's mausoleum; President Ilham Aliyev cut the ribbon. The project followed his 2011 decree to mark the poet's 870th anniversary on a large scale. Of its 542 exhibits, 418 are on display, the oldest being an original manuscript of Nizami's five masnavis, the Khamsa.

Carpet portraits of Nizami Gəncəvi and Mahsati Gəncəvi hang inside the building, and a Nizami corner holds a monitor on his life and work. Books and monographs issued for the poet's 800th and 840th anniversaries are on show, alongside copies of miniatures from his Khamsa kept in libraries abroad.

Visitors can explore the displays in multiple languages including Azerbaijani, Russian, English, German, and Persian. Information is clearly presented throughout the exhibition spaces for easy navigation.

Of the museum's 542 exhibits, 418 are on display. The oldest item is the original manuscript of Nizami's five masnavis, the Khamsa, brought here by the Nizami Ganjavi International Center; samples from the Quran are also shown. A corner holds originals and copies of rare Khamsa manuscripts and miniatures kept in national libraries in Austria, Russia, Germany and Britain, the Alexandria Library in Egypt, the Strasbourg library in France and the Metropolitan Museum in the USA.
