Museum
Museum of Modern Art
Opened in 2009: halls without walls, skewed perspectives, art of the 20th–21st centuries.
The site is in progress. The domain is reserved; design and texts are under way.
How it will look: each site gets its own colour scheme and structure.
In brief
The museum holds Azerbaijani avant-garde, unofficial Soviet-era art and contemporary work. The display rejects the classic enfilade: walls stand at angles and the vantage point keeps shifting.
There is a permanent collection alongside temporary shows, plus a dedicated children's programme.
