Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum

xalcamuzeyi-800x450 The Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum was created in the 70s of the XX century when Azerbaijan was still part of the USSR. At that time it was the only museum in the world dedicated to carpet weaving. In recent years the exposition has been significantly expanded, a building of an unusual shape was built special for the museum, repeating the appearance of a folded carpet. The museum presents finished products and all stages of carpet weaving, which is one of the most ancient crafts of the country. Azerbaijan has a special law protecting the process of creating a carpet and supporting craftsmen.

During an excursion to the Carpet Museum in Baku one can see real masterpieces from various regions of the country, which are made manually and using technology. The oldest exhibit in the collection is a fragment of the Tabriz carpet of the 17th century. In addition the museum contains archaeological finds - dishes, household items, and jewelry.

To say thanks to the travel company "My Georgia" is to say nothing. Excellent organization of a tour in Georgia (07/13 - 07/22/2019), taking into account any, even insignificant details for the tourists you receive. Such care and attention are captivating, not every company works so thoughtfully and responsibly, we dare to tell you! The journey through the South Caucasus is behind, but there are many impressions that have yet to be comprehended and "digested". But one thing is clear: we, experienced tourists from Norway, have something to tell our friends and interest them in visiting the wonderful country of Georgia.

We visited Tbilisi in March 2016. A very pleasant and positive experience from the employees of the travel company MyGeorgia. Thanks to them, a very interesting and productive program of stay in Georgia was compiled for 7 days. Visited all planned places. All excursions in Georgia took place according to the agreed schedule, strictly on time. Respect and friendliness towards tourists were obvious. Stories about historical objects were interesting, informative and not overloaded. All the advice of the tour operator about the Caucasus was helpful. It is nice to use the services of people who know and love their job. Thank you very much for a great time. As we say in our country - rakhmet. Wish development and growth to your company!
