I went to the house museum of Haji Zeynalabid Taghiyev. The ticket for students was 2 manats. It was wonderful, according to the guide, each room was designed in a different style, and a total of 6 design styles were used. but they did not have much understanding about it. The point that I did not like at all was the disrespect of the employees to the guests. I was seriously disturbed by their private conversations or telephone conversations while walking around the museum.
I came here quite late (16:55) so I didn't have to wait long. It was an amazing experience but since I was late (the museum closes at 18:00) the staff waited for me and they seemed really happy to be able to go home 10 minutes earlier. I couldn't enjoy the museum because of that but overall, fascinating. It's a huge place so I recommend arriving 2-3 hours earlier if you really wanna get to feel the full experience of being in a museum.
For a national museum, you pay 10 manet to see 9 rooms with out any information. On one lady will point at you where to go next and tell you the mirror com from italy and the shanderlia had 9 kilo of gold. At least the place had free wifi so i can use wikipedia to serch about the history of this place
Was tinned by the beauty of this building, other than a great collection of exhibits I could easily spend the entire afternoon wandering around. The highlight was saved at last for the indoor display of the palace, including a dining room, an office and a bedroom.
The food was okay, nothing special other than the Dolma which was very delicious, and the staff are very polite and helpful, they speak well English and respectful, I enjoyed the atmosphere and the coziness of the restaurant. You have to book in advance 👍🏻

Kiçik Zeynalabidin uşaq yaşlarından təmkinli və zəhmətkeş idi. 10 yaşında ikən atası onu bir bənnanın yanına usta köməkçisi işinə qoyur.12 yaşına çatanda o artıq daş yonur, 15 yaşında isə bənnalıq etməyə başlayır. Tikinti ustası və təşkilatçısı kimi tanınan Tağıyev müyyən vəsait toplayaraq artıq 20 yaşında ev tikintisi və daşyonma işləri təşkil edir. Özünün sonrakı tikinti işlərinə də şəxsən nəzarət edib. Tikdirdiyi binalarda onun dəsti-xətti hiss olunur.
