First excursion organized to Gala Archeological Ethnographic Museum- Complex - PHOTOSESSION
“The route covers great majority of the cultural historical monuments in Absheron peninsula. Our museum-complex is the most interesting of all, the route ends here. The museum-complex constructed with support of Heydar Aliyev Foundation was inaugurated on October 10 last year. This great project was implemented within short period,†he said.
Abdullayev noted that the museum-complex included materials, exhibits, reconstructed buildings, ancient dwelling places beginning from 3rd millennium B.C till the beginning of the 20th century.
“There are both archeological and ethnographic materials here. We have tried to reflect ancient history, cultural heritage and medieval living standards. When the museum- complex was being established, the main idea was to help development of tourism. This is the main direction of tourism in the developed countries of the world,†he said.

Israel’s ambassador to Azerbaijan Arthur Lenk, who attended the tour, said Azerbaijan had very ancient culture and he enjoyed with such events. “Azerbaijan is very ancient country and has very ancient and beautiful traditions. This event helps the young people to learn Azerbaijani traditions. I congratulate the participants of the tour and wish to organize more events in futureâ€.
