Kiired faktid: Housed in a striking concrete-and-glass building shaped like a folded origami, the museum holds over 2,000 works by Azerbaijani and international artists. The permanent collection traces modern art from the 1960s through today, including a strong focus on the explosive creativity of the post-Soviet era.

Esiletõstmised: The museum's collection includes banned and underground works from the Soviet era that were once hidden in private apartments and smuggled past censors. Curators have kept one gallery wall deliberately raw and unfinished, with exposed pipes and brick, to mirror the tension between official Soviet aesthetics and the rebellious artists who defied them.

• Skip the audio guide and instead grab the free paper map at the ticket desk, then follow the numbered path through the permanent collection first before exploring temporary exhibits.
• The rooftop cafe offers panoramic views of the Caspian Sea and Baku's skyline, perfect for a mid-visit coffee break.
• Photography is allowed without flash in most galleries, but the mirrored installation room near the exit requires you to remove your shoes.
• Weekday visits between 10 AM and 1 PM have the fewest visitors, giving you elbow room at the most popular interactive pieces.
