À propos
Faits rapides: Visitors wander through galleries of rich texture and color, where hand-knotted rugs gleam under soft lighting and each tiny knot reflects generations of skill. Surprisingly, the collection tops 10,000 items, ranging from miniature prayer rugs to large pictorial carpets that embed local stories and dyeing secrets into their weaves.
Points forts: You approach a building shaped like a giant rolled carpet, its curved glass skin catching the sun so the whole façade shimmers like braided silk. Inside, more than 10,000 handwoven pieces are organized by region and technique, and a supervised exhibit lets you press your palm to a protected wool sample to feel the lanolin-slick softness that makes pomegranate-red and cobalt-blue dyes sing.
Conseils d'initiés
- Arrive at opening on weekdays to avoid crowds and get the best light for photos.
- Wear comfortable shoes, galleries span several floors and some displays are on raised platforms.
- Photography without flash is usually allowed, but follow posted signs and staff instructions for fragile carpets.
- Head first to the historic galleries if short on time, then browse contemporary displays and the museum shop.

Avez-vous entendu parler des visites à pied gratuites ?
Après avoir voyagé dans plus de 30 pays, il y a une chose que j'aurais aimé qu'on me dise dès le premier jour, et cela a complètement changé ma façon de découvrir les nouvelles villes.
Les visites à pied gratuites. Oui, vraiment gratuites. Pas besoin de carte de crédit. Pas de piège.

Les guides ne gagnent que des pourboires, ils donnent donc le meilleur d'eux-mêmes

À la fin, donnez simplement le pourboire que vous jugez juste
J'ai fait ces visites dans des dizaines de villes et elles ont été le point fort de presque tous mes voyages. Si vous visitez Baku, Azerbaijan, faites-le le premier jour. Vous me remercierez plus tard.
