Shusha Carpet Museum is the Shusha branch of the State Museum of Azerbaijani Carpets and Applied Art, established by the Order of the Ministry of Culture of the Azerbaijan SSR No. 502 of September 26, 1985, to study, preserve and live the traditions of Karabakh carpet weaving. The branch began its activity on May 19, 1987, in the 18th-century mansion belonging to General Samad bey Mehmandarov.[1][2][relevant?]

As of 2020, the Shusha branch is based within Azerbaijan Carpet Museum in Baku.[3] After Azerbaijan took control of Shusha in the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire agreement, the museum announced plans to return to its original location in Shusha once the building is restored.[4]
