Overview

Step into a world of tiny wonders at the Miniature Book Museum in Baku, one of the most unique and charming attractions in Azerbaijan. Nestled within the Old City (Icherisheher), this private collection houses over 6,500 miniature books from more than 60 countries, including some as small as a matchbox!

The museum showcases a fascinating range of topics — from classic literature and children’s stories to religious texts and rare editions — all carefully preserved and beautifully displayed. It’s a hidden gem that reflects the passion and dedication of its founder, Zarifa Salahova, who spent decades collecting these miniature treasures.

A perfect stop for book lovers, curious minds, and those exploring Baku’s cultural side, the Miniature Book Museum is a delightful blend of history, art, and literary charm in the heart of the city.
