The Heydar Aliyev Foundation has started the restoration of Uzeyir Hajibeyli's house-museum in Shusha

The Heydar Aliyev Foundation has started restoring Uzeyir Hajibeyli's house-museum in Shusha from September 2022.

Qazet.az reports that Shamil Azizov, representative of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, said this during his speech at the National Urban Development Forum.

According to him, the main goal of the restoration works is to preserve the historical appearance of the house-museum.

It should be noted that the house-museum of Uzeyir Hajibeyli, a prominent composer, the founder of our professional music art and national opera, operated in Shusha until the occupation of Armenia.

As a result of the brutality of the Armenian occupying forces, only about 100 of the 1,700 exhibits related to the life and work of the genius composer in the museum survived, and the rest were destroyed.
