Azerbaijan History Museum, Baku

Posted 1 year ago by sobal in response to samantha's question: I want to find out more about Azerbaijan culture and history. Any good value museums in Baku? (give a different answer) .

A "must-see" is the Taghiyev National History Museum, on 4 Zeinalabdyn Taghiyev Street, that offers you the ocasion of dicovering the culture of Azerbaijan from ancient period to present days.
While the building itself will take one's breath away, there are several other items that deserve attention. In total, there are about 350,000 items either on display or in storage. In the Ethnographic Collection, for instance, there is a human jawbone that was found in the Azikh cave in Western Azerbaijan. Scientists estimate that it is 300,000 to 350,000 years ago.
