collection is replenished with valuable exhibits every year.
Over recent years, the Carpet Museum has received a number of
carpets of historical and artistic significance from various
organizations, including the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, the Culture
Ministry, and many others.
In her speech, Elmira Suleymanova underlined that carpet weaving
art is a part of Azerbaijan's history, spirituality, and
identity.
Azerbaijani carpets are stored in many prestigious museums and
private galleries around the world.
Deputy Minister of Culture Sevda Mammadaliyeva expressed

carpet museum's Shusha branch.
She stressed the importance of the event held within the Year of
Shusha in Azerbaijan and the 35th anniversary of the Shusha Carpet
Museum.

Chairperson of the State Committee for Family, Women and Children
Affairs Bahar Muradova, Deputy Head of the Shusha Executive
Authorities Vusala Fataliyeva praised Elmira Suleymanova's
effective work, emphasizing the great importance of donating the
Lamp carpet to the carpet museum's Shusha branch.
Furthermore, the guests got an audience with Lampa carpet
(1930s) woven in Shusha.
The first samples of such carpets were woven in Shusha in the
early 19th century, and they are also known as Shusha, used to
adorn mansions and palaces.
Later, the Lampa became widespread in Karabakh as dast hali
gaba, a carpet set consisting of a wide central known as 'hali' and
narrow side parts called 'kanara'.
Stylized with beautiful flowers, including Kharibulbul, the
Lampa carpet reflects the unique beauty of the Karabakh region and
the aesthetic taste of the people living there.
These remarkable carpets, preserved in world museums and
numerous collections, remain significant.
