It was noted that the improvement of museum affairs was at the center of attention in Azerbaijan. From this point of view, the order of President Ilham Aliyev dated 6 March 2007 "On the improvement of museum affairs in Azerbaijan" gave a strong impetus to important qualitative changes in the preservation of national cultural values and communication of numerous artifacts and works of art stored in museum collections to future generations. The Heydar Aliyev Foundation is also making an invaluable contribution to the development of the museum network and comprehensive improvement of museums in our country.
The three-storey museum building is located in Heydar Aliyev Avenue of Gazakh. On the first floor of it there is a conference room, a canteen and offices.
