It mostly contains objects discovered from excavations in Iranian Azerbaijan, also some artworks and sculptures of artists. Its library contains more than 2500 books, both handwritten and printed, about history, archaeology, art and Iranian culture.^[2]

The Azerbaijan museum is the first and oldest museum in the northwestern part of the country, and the exhibits that you can find inside of it include objects from different archaeological sites throughout the country and cover the full chronological span of its history, making the museum one of the most important in Iran and a truly national one.^[3]
