I recently visited the Museum of Miniature Books and I have to say, it was a delightful experience! The museum is located in the heart of the old city and is free to enter, making it a great stop for anyone looking for a unique and budget-friendly activity. The museum's collection of miniature books is truly impressive. The books are incredibly small, yet each one is a work of art in its own right. What's more, the collection is divided into multiple sections, allowing visitors to explore different genres and styles of miniature books. As a special treat, the museum even gave us one miniature book for free to keep as a souvenir. It was a lovely gesture that made the visit all the more memorable. Overall, I would highly recommend a visit to the Museum of Miniature Books. It's a quick and easy stop that won't take more than 30 minutes, but it's well worth the time. The books are fascinating to see and the museum's location in the old city adds to the charm of the experience. So, if you're looking for something a little out of the ordinary, be sure to check out this gem of a museum!

While having an old city tour we visit this museum which is one of its kind and the only museum in the world dedicated to tiny books. It showcases over 6,500 miniature books from 39 countries, including the smallest book in the world, measuring just 2mm by 2mm. Founded by Zarifa Salahova, the collection spans centuries and features classics, religious texts, and modern literature. The museum offers a unique glimpse into the art and history of miniature books, making it a must-visit for book lovers and anyone interested in rare, meticulously crafted works.

As a tourist, I am impressed with the friendly and pleasant approach to the lady (Ms. Lina). She was so kind and tried her very best to talk about the history behind the miniature books museum and about the artist behind the remarkable work in a professional way. I wish all the museums must have people like Ms. Lina, who was so dedicated to their work. The miniature book works are mind-blowing. I am so happy that we visited this place and it is going to stay on our minds forever.

A unique museum of miniature books. I have never seen any other museums like this in other countries. Entrance is free. There are a lot of books from different years of release, there are books that are 300 years old. The smallest books reach the size of a poppy seed, about 1 millimeter. They are under a magnifying glass. There are both classical authors and modern ones. I bought an old edition of Eugene Onegin, about 5 centimeters in size.
