Old City Museum Center, Museum center in Old City of Baku, Azerbaijan
The Old City Museum Center spreads across several historic buildings within Baku's medieval walls and displays exhibitions about local heritage and archaeological discoveries. The spaces use modern technology to present information about the region and its past.
The center opened in 2018 and stands near the Shirvanshahs Palace, a structure from the 12th century. The institution thereby preserves the timeline of the region's past millennium.
The center displays crafted objects, coins, and old books that show how Azerbaijani culture developed over time. Visitors can see items that reflect daily life and artistic skills from past generations.
The building sits in the Old City and is easy to reach on foot while exploring the medieval quarter. Plan several hours to view the different exhibitions at a relaxed pace.
The museum sits within a UNESCO World Heritage zone that also includes the Maiden Tower. The location rests roughly 28 meters (92 feet) below sea level.
