    The worst organised museum I've ever been to in my entire life. Everything as much mashed nothing is labelled underneath the panning you can't tell when the artist lived or died it is a total disaster. Where is the great Dali sculpture in the museum but you have to really know what the heck you're looking for. I think the curator of this museum should be fired as he shows NO RESPECT for the artist. There are however some great pieces in there but they're very hard to find in the museum is so massively disorganized.

    1st thing 1st staff were nice, kind and they responded my questions with pure kindness.💜 Ticket for locals coated me 5 AZN (per person).🎟️ I loved the 1st floor soo much. It was super colorful and cozy. Buuut 😄⤵️ Overall, museum was chaotic for me…There’s no guide to help you figure out which direction you need to go, so you’re walking inside the museum like a lost child. 💔 No audio guide 🎧, no introduction brochure 🙁 and there is no information about most of the paintings and only in one place, they mentioned painting’s name and each time you need to watch the artwork then come back and check the information ℹ️ in the small area. 🎨🖼️

    Top! Unbedingt besuchen. Es gibt so unfassbar viele großartige Werke, dass ich gar nicht wusste, wohin ich zuerst schauen soll. Picasso und Dali sind Teil der Exponate.

    The museum is full of creative artworks, some of them really meets nowadays life; Love the space inside, it's huge and bright; Museum serves little cafe but i haven't got time to try it. Also in Restaurant is very peaceful situation, few people were working and reading there. Staff is extremely friendly. They also have special rules and you have to follow it, otherwise the supervisor will come and will ask to delete the photo.

    Amazing art collection. Definitely different from other modern art museums. The pieces are mostly oriented towards the regional talent and taste. The museum is exquisitely arranged and the art pieces tastefully displayed. The overall visit experience is extremely pleasant and absolutely recommended.

    (Translated by Google) A wonderful museum that gives an idea of ​​the artistic diversity of modern art in Azerbaijan. In addition, there are works by foreign artists, including Picasso and Dali (their pictures are forbidden to photograph, and this is a small minus). The price of visiting the museum was very surprising - only 5 manats for adults and 2 students and schoolchildren. I recommend this place to visit for all lovers of unusual art and for those who like to spend their free time traveling (Original) Замечательный музей который дает представление о художественных разнообразиях современного искусства Азербайджана. По-мимо прочего есть работы иностранных художников, в том числе Пикассо и Дали (их картины фотографировать запрещено, и это небольшой минус). Цена посещения музея очень удивила - всего 5 манат взрослым и 2 студентам и школьникам. Рекомендую это место для посещения всем любителям необычного искусства и тем кто любит с пользой проводить свободное время в путешествие

    Wonderful place to visit, opens till 2100, adult AZN 5, cafe on the second floor only serves drinks. Restricted no photography on temporary exhibit on second level. Well worth a visit. Relax with a latte after browsing through or to take a rest.

    If you are a fan of modern art, your will spend hours inside. Huge halls in 2 floors with lots of items that will blow up your mind

  • 4/5 Вильгефорц Из �. 1 month ago on Google • 8 reviews New
    I definitely did not regret paying a visit to this museum being quite sceptical about modern art overall.Some paintings lacked descriptions which was quite disappointing and it wasn’t allowed to take photos in certain areas;nonetheless a charming place with great ambiance.

  • 5/5 Johan M. 4 years ago on Google
    The gallery spaces are a fabulous addition to this friendly, world-class museum. The famous pieces in the collection have been positioned for better viewing; some have a gallery dedicated to them to further enhance the visitor's enjoyment and appreciation of the art. There is far too much to absorb in one day -- don't rush, pick a few galleries, take your time, and appreciate the creative vision.

    Great place if you are into modern art. Unfortunately the second floor was closed at the time of visit due to renovation. The personnel at the art house seem to know very little about the collection and not much helpful

  • 5/5 Adrian M. 3 months ago on Google • 7 reviews New
    This was an inspirational delight! A wonderful display of modern art in many different styles, through paintings, prints, sculptures, etc. Superbly imagined and created by an incredible range of artists, all set in a modern desingner gallery with a cafe that is a work of art, but let down only by the coffee machine that wasn't working!

  • 5/5 Anastasiia P. 11 months ago on Google

  • 3/5 Shazz E. 4 years ago on Google
    Rated okay as it could be better managed. The art works are wonderful but not enough clientele. The cafe is simply artful. Although you would still have to pay the entrance fee to the museum just to get to the cafe!

  • 5/5 Afm A. 8 months ago on Google
    Great art pieces. Large collection from local artists. Ticket prices were 5 per adult. I highly recommend this museum. Don’t take young children with you

  • 5/5 Olga R. 10 months ago on Google
    Interesting place. I took an excursion. The guide was a friendly young girl who also asked my opinion about things so it was involving. The excursion took about an hour. In general the museum is small and if you go on your own I guess you it will take less than an hour

    Interesting place! But everything is poorly and kind of randomly labelled, you may need extra time to understand what is what! Need better organising.

    Amazing building. Hadid is not mentioned anywhere. Terrible staff and exhibitions! Just rude. Impossible to navigate or to find anything...

  • 5/5 Ayaz M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) There is a lot of content. There were several paintings and sculptured rooms in Picasso and the western style, where painting was forbidden. Admission is 5 AZN for ordinary citizens and 2 AZN for students. (Original) Məzmun çoxdur. Pikasso və qərb üslubunda bir neçə rəsm, heykəl olan otaqlar var idi ki, orada şəkil çəkmək qadağan idi.

  • 5/5 Smadar Ben A. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The Museum of Modern Art in Baku is surprising in its richness of art, with the excellent curation of a combination featuring artwork in painting, sculpture combined with an unusual two-storey architecture overlaid with a glass roof whose natural light from the outside illuminates the spaces of the building. The museum is not huge in size and the rooms in it are pleasant for a heart-widening tour. On the second floor a modest cafeteria is designed in the colors of a workshop creating a natural and relaxed feel. Definitely recommended !! (Original) המוזאון לאומנות מודרנית בבאקו מפתיע בעושר היצירות שבו, באוצרות המצוינת של שילוב שמציגה יצירות אומנות בציור, בפיסול בשילוב עם ארכיטקטורה יוצאת דופן של שתי קומות שמעליהן גג זכוכית שהאור הטבעי המגיע מבחוץ מאיר את החללים של המבנה. המוזיאון אינו עצום בגודלו והחדרים בו נעימים לסיור המרחיב את הלב. בקומה שניה קפטריה צנועה מעוצבת בצבעי סדנת יצירה הנותנים הרגשה טבעית ונינוחה. מומלץ בהחלט!!

  • 5/5 Daena l. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Entrance 5 manat. Sometimes, even in the most chaotic lines, at first glance, one can see logic, form and even a picture). I can say for sure that today I didn’t have enough explanations of the artist for some exhibits, innovation of the highest degree is all very confusing and not clear. Some pictures really liked. The museum has many areas of art, which makes the exhibition not boring. (Original) Вход 5 манат . Иногда даже в самых , на первый взгляд , хаотичных линиях можно увидеть логику , форму и даже картину ) .Точно могу сказать , что мне сегодня не хватало разъяснений художника к некоторым экспонатам , новаторство вышей степени все очень запутанно и не понятно . Некоторые картины очень понравились . В музее много направлений искусства , что делает выставку не скучной .

С маленькими детьми не рекомендую- устанете за за ними гоняться. Нашей первокласснице было не интересно.

    Don't let the initial moments deceive you, there is a ton of incredible and unique modern art here that you won't discover on your other MA museum tours. This museum is lighter brighter and much larger than you initially perceive. We really enjoyed ourselves and I'm confident you will as well.

    (Translated by Google) Horror. At the checkout they were allowed to take photos. The security guard on the 2nd floor nearly torn the phone and called a colleague. They stand and laugh. The administration apparently has not yet decided on. The exhibits presented by them inspire creativity. This small indicator flaunted as an unfortunate joke. I shot it without a flash, as they said at the checkout, and now you can’t delete it. And I already looked. Unpleasant only. (Original) Ужас. На кассе разрешили делать фото. Охранник на 2 этаже чуть телефон не выдрал еще и коллегу позвал. Стоят и смеются. Администрация видимо до конца не определилась. Экспонаты представленные у них вдохновляют на творчество. Этот небольшой индицент расцкнила как неудачную шутку. Снимала без вспышки как говорили на кассе и вот удаляйте нельзя. А я уже все посмотрела. Неприятно только.

    Did not meet my expectations as I would expect to see more sculptures rather than paintings. But it was still a nice place to visit.
