The staff at the museum is so kind, she helped me pick out a mini book magnet of a classic “Little Prince”, thank you so much ❤️ p.s: Museum is free to visit and definitely one of a kind!

Absolutely enchanting! The Miniatür Kitab Muzeyi (Baku Museum of Miniature Books) in the heart of İcheri Şəhər is unlike anything I’ve seen before. It's home to thousands of the tiniest books from over 80 countries — each one a piece of art and history. The museum holds a Guinness World Record, and once you step in, you'll see why. From a 17th-century miniature Qur’an to books that are just 2x2 mm in size, the collection is both impressive and heartwarming. A must-visit if you're in Baku — it's peaceful, inspiring, and completely unique. And most of all there's Gulnur - a sweet, super nice, beautiful girl who treated us not as customers but as friends & really went out of her way by showing us around the best shops to visit. If you are in the Old City of Baku, don't skip the Musuem & Gulnur. Both are great gems!
