Baku Museum of Contemporary Art




I reviewed this website’s “museum viewing instructions” in a previous post… 

Considering exhibits, please keep restrained while expressing your delight or disagreement both in words and in gestures and mimicry. Viewing the exposition please be quiet. You can discuss the displays in a low voice, sharing impressions with your companion, but don’t impose your opinion on them. Try not to argue by all means.

There is no need to approach the pictures too close, blocking the view for other spectators. It is better to observe some pictures from afar (for example, works of impressionists or pictures of big sizes).

It is strongly forbidden to touch the exhibits in a museum.

There is no need to visit museums keeping a noisy company or after getting any alcohol drink –you will hardly have an appropriate mood for the correct perception of museum displays.

I wasn’t sure what to expect. Maybe they are used to dealing with folks like these – it’s obvious they have been imbibing and were not in the “appropriate mood for the correct perception of museum displays”! 




I was immediately reminded of how cool a dude Hippocrates was – I think he would have liked this place.


This place was way more than expected! What a cool space  - few separate rooms, open and everywhere you look something new, interesting.






Ruby seemed to me especially suited to this place and kind of a work of art herself…






I want this couch!



Wish they had a museum gift shop so I could buy a poster of this painting!
