metadata.value: The history of museums in Azerbaijan is only a hundred years old, but the path traveled
  over the years has been very difficult. The development of museums was directly affected
  by the political course of the Soviet country. Museums were supposed to reflect the politics
  and ideology of the country, and everything that did not correspond to this was gathering
  dust in storage or even worse destroyed. The names of the owners of the collections were not
  mentioned in any public publication. Their names preserved only the basic documents of
  museums, acts and books of receipts, which were available to a very narrow circle of people.
  Often, collections mercilessly broken into small groups and transferred to various museums
  in the country. Namely, the property of many representatives of the national bourgeoisie
  enriched our museums. Nevertheless, in the first years of Soviet power, the museums created
  in Azerbaijan managed to assemble a rich collection, despite the obvious distortions in
  the reflection of historical truth. It was these works that formed the basis of the collections
  of modern National Museums, and, of course, the Azgosmuzey laid their foundation. It
  was the first museum to systematically and consistently assemble a collection. Azgosmuzey
  organized expeditions and conducted archaeological excavations. Excavations on the territory
  of Azerbaijan have always been carried out officially and unofficially, unfortunately,
  many discovered artifacts were exported outside of our country, but after the establishment
  of Soviet power, the situation in this area changed somewhat, and it should be noted for the
  better. On the initiative of the museum’s management, various exhibits were transferred to
  our museums from Moscow, and then from Leningrad, enriching the repositories of Western
  European and Russian art. Many materials cited in the article are not known to a wide
  circle of researchers.
