A joint project of the Museum and young artists will mark the 80th anniversary of the Museum.

The exhibition will present "reincarnated" art works in the avant-garde style based on the paintings of modern Azerbaijani artists, as well as art works of world famous artists and sculptors.

Artists Elshan Sarkhanoglu, Mamed Rashidov, Vugar Guliyev, Aydin Askerov, Elshan Karaca and Emin Gahramanov will present a brand new interpretation of fifteen paintings and 5 sculptures.

Art experts expect the project to open a new page in the history of the museum's activity. Such a project will also be held in other museums of the city.

The Azerbaijan National Art Museum is a treasure house that preserves our national moral values and cultural heritage. This treasure house, holding more than 17,000 artistic exhibits, has a rich working history. The Art department was separated from the Azerbaijan State Museum in 1936 and organized as an independent museum by decision of the Council of People's Commissars.

In 2011 the Museum was declared to be of first National and then European Museum Standard (EUMS), meeting international standards and criteria, as appropriate for a museum and implying high quality museum services and professional experience.
