Azerbaijan's National Art Museum has opened its doors to a new photo exhibition.

The exhibition, dedicated to Azerbaijan's majestic nature features fifteen works of photographers Rustam Huseynov Ilkin Kangarli, Emil Gazi, Denis Svechnikov.

Specifically for the project, the artists spent several months in the country's regions, "hunting" for the best moments of Azerbaijani spring.

The project aims to showcase the beauty and diversity of Azerbaijan's nature through photography, to promote interest in the region's tourism potential and to draw attention to landscape photography as a genre of art.

Azerbaijan is a unique country with contrasting natural areas. Here you can see an amazing variety of landscapes: deserts, steppes, tropical plantations, rocky gorges, seashores, plateaus and much more.

"The photos feature all regions of Azerbaijan. In addition, we tried to show the different landscapes including the desert zone, and the highlands. A great attention was paid to hard-to-reach areas", said exhibition's curator Rustam Huseynov.

"It's no secret that the majority of viewers see the work of photographers mainly in electronic format. The photo on the camera display, the mobile phone screen and the printed image creates two completely different experiences," he added.

The exhibition will run until June 2. Entrance is free.
