How it will look: each site gets its own colour scheme and structure.

In brief

Founded in 1939, the museum collects manuscripts, editions and personal belongings of Azerbaijani writers. The building itself, in the city centre, is a monument.

The figures on the facade present the great names of the country's literature, turning the building into part of the display.
