Nakhchivan State Carpet Museum

The Nakhchivan State Carpet Museum was established in 1998 and was provided with a new
building in 2010. The official website of the museum, giving the opportunity of a virtual visit was
commissioned in 2013 in three languages. Samples of Nakhchivan carpet-weaving school dated

school.

school, weaving tool and means such as spinning-wheel, wool tomb, knitting knives, artistic
embroidery and fabric samples, decorative-applied art works and other cultural samples are
