The construction of the new building of the Nizami Ganjavi Museum began in 2012 and was completed and opened to the public in 2014. The museum was built on the territory of the Nizami Mausoleum. The museum features exhibits reflecting the life and work of the great Azerbaijani poet Nizami Ganjavi, ancient manuscripts, and illustrations inspired by the “Khamsa” (Quintet).
