Art is an inseparable part of culture which shapes our ideas and provides us with a deeper understanding of emotions.

With the growing interest in art, museums and galleries in Baku, the capital city has become popular destination for locals and tourists. There are many types of museums and galleries in country that cater to all sorts of interests.

One of such cultural centers is Gazelli Art House which supports a wide range of international artists, presenting a broad and dynamic programme to a diverse audience through global public projects and exhibition spaces in London and Baku.

Gazelli Art House was founded in 2003, providing an excellent venue for national artists to hold their exhibitions. Having hosted conceptually interlinked off-site exhibitions across London, founder and director of Gazelli Art House, Mila Asgarova, opened a permanent space on Dover Street, London in March 2012.

Gazelli Art House re-opened in Baku in 2017 with a group show “The Approach” in an all new location, featuring the best examples of contemporary art.

It was followed by art project “Domestic Alien”, which involved foreign artists Franz Ackermann, El Anatsui, Michelangelo Pistoletto, and Richard Wilson.

Domestic Alien is a show that explores and challenges a diverse range of present-day themes and issues. Underlined by the concept of displacement, it encourages a dialogue on differences in societal and cultural values, notions of domesticity, and the impact of globalization.

Located in the heart of Baku city, art gallery serves as a place of high art for admirers of contemporary art, exhibiting the works of world famous artists.

“Currently, Gazelli Art House is developing new expositions and cooperates with many museums around the world, providing them with collections for temporary exhibitions. The gallery develops cultural and educational programs, participating in major art fairs and museum festivals,” said Guliyeva.

Gazelli Art House impresses visitors with its exposition. At the moment, works of world-famous contemporary artists on social themes are presented here.
