About
Shushi Carpet Museum (Armenian: Շուշիի գորգերի թանգարան) was a museum in Shusha that operated while the city was under the control of the Republic of Artsakh. It was founded by Vardan Astsatryan in 2011 and opened to the public in 2013.
The museum has been closed since Azerbaijan retook control of the city in 2020. 71 rugs and carpets from the museum's collection are now on display in Yerevan at the National Museum-Institute of Architecture after Alexander Tamanyan.
The building now houses the Azerbaijani Shusha Carpet Museum.
