On February 5, the Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum will open the “Silent Prayers: Cultural Heritage Preserved at the Zira Juma Mosque” exhibition.

The project, organized by the Culture Committee of the National Assembly, the Ministry of Culture, and the Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum, is aimed at promoting national, spiritual, and cultural values, historical memory, and charity traditions.

The exhibition is dedicated to samples of national heritage donated to the Zira Juma Mosque by different people in different periods. The exhibition will feature pile and flat-woven carpets, carpet products, artistic metalwork, clothing, embroidery samples, Qur’an samples, and rare handwritten books. Most of these exhibits are more than 100 years old and were created by Azerbaijani masters.

These samples of historical and cultural heritage are not only a memory of the past; they are proof of the continuation of the charity tradition in Azerbaijan. Their preservation by the mosque is a striking example of high attention to national values and an expression of social solidarity.

The exhibition will run until February 8.
