After the poet was shot in 1937, his works were thrown into the sea. The poet’s bust is placed in the museum courtyard. In the Memorial Museum a symbolic tomb is placed and a bust is made. The bust’s architect is the Honored Art Worker, sculptor Münəvvər Rzayev (1990). The “Oxu Tar” monument was dedicated to M. Müşfiq in 2008 on his 100th anniversary. A book monument was placed in the museum’s front yard. A total of 221 items, including 1 bust, 43 photographs, and 177 documents of the poet, are exhibited in the museum.
