Icheri Sheher Museum Center
On December 22, 2018, the “Icheri Sheher” Museum Center was established as a structural unit of the “Icheri Sheher” State Historical-Architectural Reserve. The Maiden Tower, which dates from the 8th-7th centuries BC, the Shirvanshahs’ Palace Complex, which dates from the 12th-15th centuries, the Beylar Mosque, famous for its Sacred Treasures exposition, and the Siratagli religious-architectural museum are all part of the Icheri Sheher Museum Center. The Gala State Historical and Ethnographic Reserve Museum, which preserves ancient traditions, and the Baku House of Photography, which unites time and people, are part of the complex.
The newly established Museum Center, which combines museum expositions, introduces the world to Azerbaijan’s rich history and multifaceted culture. 54,000 exhibits are preserved in the Museum Center’s fund.
Icheri Sheher, along with the Maiden Tower and the Palace of Shirvanshahs, was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000.
