Job stress is something we all face— and we all handle it differently. But, too much and too prolonged job stress can lead to a downward spiral — both professionally and personally.

Some studies have revealed that the act of drawing and creating art can help one relieve stress in several ways. Given that art can help you de-stress even if you've never touched a paint brush, the National Art Museum initiated the flash mob "Mannequin Challenge" in the culture.

The flash mob was held at the French Art Hall of the Museum, Day.Az reported. The Museum passed the baton to other museums of the country.

The exhibition "French art from the collection of the Azerbaijan National Museum of Art" will last until January 26, 2017.

The Azerbaijan National Art Museum is a treasure house that preserves Azerbaijan’s national moral values and cultural heritage. This treasure house, holding more than 17,000 artistic exhibits, has a rich working history. The Art department was separated from the Azerbaijan State Museum in 1936 and organized as an independent museum by decision of the Council of People's Commissars.

In 2011 the museum was declared to be of first National and then European Museum Standard (EUMS), meeting international standards and criteria, as appropriate for a museum and implying high quality museum services and professional experience.
