Sərgi Qalereyası (Bakı)

Exhibition gallery — a gallery operating within the Museum Center of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

Museum Center

Its building was constructed in 1960 based on the project of the famous Azerbaijani architect Həsən Məcidov on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of V.I. Lenin's birth and was put into operation in 1961 as a branch of the V.I. Lenin Museum in Moscow.

After the collapse of the USSR in 1991, the building was transferred to the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Azerbaijan by decree of the President of Azerbaijan and received the name Museum Center.

Exhibition

The exhibition gallery is located on the fourth floor of the Museum Center. Consisting of five halls (total area 400 m²), the Exhibition Gallery has an exhibition area of 700 m² and is equipped with the necessary lighting and sound equipment.
