Note that, the Heydar Aliyev Centre, designed by renowned Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, opened in 2012 and has become a symbol of modern Azerbaijan with its striking, wave-like form. Awarded the prestigious Design of the Year Award by the London Design Museum in 2014, the building’s unique design features no straight lines.

Permanent collections include a museum dedicated to Heydar Aliyev, a Mini Azerbaijan exhibition, and a classic car collection.

In addition to its exhibition spaces, the Centre offers a stylish cafeteria and a state-of-the-art auditorium for international events. The surrounding green park provides a peaceful escape from the city.
