In the first hall there was a mechanical mill with a capacity of grinding 8-10 tons of wheat per day. Here is also the “Trier” grain cleaner, which was used in the 30s of the last century. In the second exhibition hall there were demonstrations of instruments - wings, legs, china, wagons, handmade mill (kirkira) from II century, and a grain grinder called “charchar”. The wooden staircase on the right side of the mall was used to climb to the second floor. Products made from flour, including baked breads in Ganja, Nakhchivan, Garabagh, Georgia, Armenia, Dagestan and Samarkand were exhibited here. In addition, old pot and kitchen utensils were exhibited in the lower hall. The next hall was dedicated exclusively to grain-growing and farming issues. There were various types of grain, wheat, bread cards given to children during the war, as well as Azerbaijan’s map made of wheat.
A milling staff was also set up in the staff table of the museum. The goal was to keep the mill in good working order so as to deliver ready-made products to guests. The oldest museum exhibits were wheat grains of VII millennium BC. Although the wheat was presented to the museum by academician Imam Mustafayev, the grains were discovered by the well-known archaeologist, corresponding member of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences, Professor Ideal Narimanov during the excavations conducted on the Chalaghan hill in the Afatli village of Aghdam. Later on, only hardened wheat grains were rescued and transferred to the Azerbaijan History Museum by Chimnaz Aliyeva, who worked as head of the cultural department.
