Get an insider's view of Nakhchivan's royal and archaeological history led by a museum curator through the historic Khan's Palace complex.
What to expect
Your curator guide walks you through halls of Bronze Age pottery, medieval manuscripts, and royal regalia from the Nakhchivan Khanate, offering context found in no exhibit placard. The 19th-century Khan's Palace itself, with its restored reception hall, forms the backdrop for a discussion of the region's political history at the crossroads of empires. The visit concludes with rarely displayed pieces from the museum's archive room.
