Press Museum

The "Azerbaijan Press Museum" has been operating on the first floor of the building since 2017. Although the decision to establish the museum was made five years ago, the museum opened in August 2017. At the opening ceremony, the head of the East Azerbaijan Islamic Guidance and Culture Department, Mohammad Mohammadpur, called Azerbaijan a leading region of the country's media. He later said:[5]

The Azerbaijani press, which has a deep and broad history, needed a museum. Examples of the history of the Azerbaijani press can be seen dispersed at various institutions, bodies and people. However, they must be collected and kept in this museum. In this case, foreign and domestic tourists visiting the museum can get acquainted with the cultural history of East Azerbaijan.
