Stone Chronicle Museum is a museum dedicated to the history of stone plastics in Azerbaijan. Many types of stone plastic are exhibited in the museum. The Stone Chronicle Museum, located on the National Flag Square, was created by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation.[1] The most archaic features of moral life in Azerbaijan were found in plastic stone traditions.
The museum is located in the building of the electric station constructed in 1901 and used for the energy supply of oil wells. In later period, the building was completely restored. After restoration works, it operates as Stone Chronicle Museum.[2][3]
