The museum has more than 300,000 exhibits, which include artifacts related to Azerbaijani history, culture, and art. The exhibits are arranged in chronological order, with the oldest artifacts dating back to the Paleolithic period. The museum has separate sections dedicated to the ancient history of Azerbaijan, the medieval period, and the modern era.
One of the most important exhibits in the museum is the collection of ancient carpets, which reflects the rich tradition of Azerbaijani carpet weaving. The museum also has a collection of metal objects, ceramics, and glassware, as well as paintings and sculptures by Azerbaijani artists.
The museum has a special focus on the history of Azerbaijan's struggle for independence, with exhibits related to the country's democratic movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as the Azerbaijani people's participation in World War II.
