Head of the Humanitarian Affairs Department of the Azerbaijani President Administration Fatma Abdullazadeh and director of the Architecture and Art Institute under the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences Artagin Salamzadeh made a speech.

Welcoming the visitors, Aida Mahmudova gave information about the exhibition’s concept: “I have worked a great deal of time on this exhibition and spent much of my energy to accomplish it. “Elysium “is the subject and concept of the exhibition. In ancient Greece, Elysium was a place where absolutely happy people lived. To be more precise, a place of eternal happiness. But there is nothing eternal, and will not be. Because noting metaphorical has a form. Therefore, having a beginning and comprehending is beautiful. I wish all of you to have a nice evening”.

The visitors familiarized themselves with the exhibition.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by eminent persons of science, art and culture, as well as representatives of the diplomatic corps and public organizations.
