It’s a very beautifully designed metro station. One should surely visit it while in Tashkent. Also, if you want to visit Minor Mosque then this is the closest metro station. Minor mosque is about 10-15 minutes walking from Bodomzor metro station.

We came to the International hotel’s exhibition hall for Study Abroad exhibition. We came by bus as it is faster and more buses. But for the way back I took metro and Bodomzor station, as on arrival metro is closer then the bus stop )) Funny but true. Anyway, the entrance is rather strange as it is small and narrow with only 2 narrow doors. Then inside It has long stairs, which are absolutely unacceptable for people at age. It looks beautiful but in practice hard for elder people. Down below they have unusual cute personal seats. I liked them, and was happy to have a sit for a while. If you have a chance, visit this station, it’s differs from others’ Tashkent stations.

This is one of the metro stations in Tashkent that comes with exceptional adornments. The patterns shown here are more minimalist than the other ones and gives a clean, modern vibe. This is also the metro stop that is closer to the Minor Mosque than the Minor stop.

Absolutely loved this bazaar - a do not miss when you're in Tashkent. The market is HUGE and had everything from breads, fruits, vegetables, and meats to textiles and random trinkets. The quality of the fruits and veggies was incredible - we actually opted to eat the food here for lunch in lieu of a meal. The experience also felt totally authentic and unique - we were by far the only tourists as far as the eye could see when we went.
Erin Y — Google review
Chorus bazaar ... one of the lively places in the Capital city. Here you will find almost everything that the country produces ranging from spices, nuts, dairy products, meats, fruits and vegetables ... and much much more. It is also a cool place to enjoy a local meal. Easily accessible by metro. One of the cities sites to visit for sure.
Bruno VAN DEN BOSSCHE — Google review
Located in Old Town, this iconic and famous market is a shining example of business,trade and informal merchandise. Impressive structure from outside, a giant dome, two floors of products, meat and fish at ground floor, mountains of spices and dry fruits arranged in attractive fashion, fruits, vegetables outside, this market caters to the needs of one and all. A must visit to feel the buzz and pulse of beautiful city Tashkent.
Jazz B — Google review
It is very easy to find the market. You can get there by bus, metro, or taxi. We chose to get there by metro. The metro station is right inside the market, so it is very convenient. I did not see as many souvenirs for tourists as I saw in other bazaars in Samarkand or Bukhara. There are more local food, fresh food, regular clothes, household items, etc. I enjoyed walking and observing Uzbekistan people’s shopping. Don’t miss the food area. Both sides are packed with street food. Freshly cooked, inexpensive prices, interesting, and delicious food. There are seats that you shared with other people, order food, and enjoy your $3 meal.

Chorsu Bazaar is a traditional bazaar located in the center of the old town of Tashkent. The bazaar is like no other one and has its own unique charm and ambience. Hundreds of stalls selling meat, fruits, nuts, breads and all daily necessities and its usually packed and crowded. A must visit place for tourists visiting Tashkent city.
Muhammad Waleed Sadiq — Google review
Huge marketplace with hundreds of stalls both inside and around the Bazaar building, selling virtually everything there is to be sold. The butcher stalls inside the dome are somehow a little gruesome, but in general, the sights and smells (an assortment of smoked cheese, pickkes, spices, fresh fruit and roasting meat) are breathtaking. It can be easily reached by subway (Chorsu Station).
Angelica Bosch — Google review

Chorus Bazar is iconic and famous market in Tashkent. Beautiful architecture and huge. Impressive structure from outside with giant dome! You will find spices, fruits, vegetables, nuts, tea, chocolate, toys, dresses, salads, cookies, fries, bread and what else not.
Md Abdur Raquib — Google review
An amazing experience. A place where you can see and feel the essence of the Silk Road. I imagine the trading style and how the merchants presented their merchandise as an exact version of how it happened here hundreds of years ago. This Bazaar has it all. Food products, meat, vegetables, gold, dairy products, and souvenirs. Also, be mindful that they negotiate and bargain, so prices are not final. Make sure you visit the food court. They have excellent local food and grilled kabob. The place is worth visiting. Visit and take some photos to show back home. 🇺🇿 ❤️
Cliff Captain — Google review
Amazing place to visit for tourists and expats living here. You can find anything if you have the time to get lost in this huge maze of stalls in Chorsu bazaar. The meat market is something I have never seen on such a scale before. I love buying plants from the nursery area and local clothes from the stalls... Also a place to get spare keys cut and buy items for your house.
Bettina Robertson — Google review
A wonderful place to see local life in Tashkent. It is quite clean and there are many stalls showcasing the everyday goods that the Uzbeks need in terms of clothing, utensils and of course food. Stop by their food stalls to have a wonderful sashlik, black tea, bread and hunym, which is a potato dough with tomato sauce. There are also touristy sections where you can bargain for souvenir Uzbek crafts, such as pottery.

Impressive structure from outside, a giant dome, two floors of products, meat and fish at ground floor, mountains of spices and dry fruits arranged in attractive fashion, fruits, vegetables outside, this market caters to the needs of one and all. But the problem is we really did not appreciate to be aggressively sold to by the locals. Also don’t bother bargaining. They will try to push and force more products on you. If you don't intend to buy, just ignore the sellers. Hopefully, the government should take responsibility of this matter. Thanks 🙏

One place in Tashkent you can’t miss. Experience the rich flavour of Uzbekistan culture, food and shopping. From dry fruits, spices, clothing and many other things at this massive shopping area. Did I mention, wear a good shoes and ready for a long compelling walk !!

visited here as part of a city tour. Not my kinda thing but others liked it and it was a real riot of colours. Heavily used by locals and far better presented wares than in a UK supermarket. Prices were ridiculously cheap too by our standards. The bread making was impressive, you could feel the heat of the ovens from 6m away.

Such an interesting place. I was short of time so made a quick tour of this market. A go to place for fruits, vegetables, spices, dry fruits and what not. I tried the local veg salad which is available alacarte. So, we have the option to pick the cut vegetables placed in the shelves and they provide them for eating. The bazaar has a huge meat section and is clean and well maintained. A great place to know the Uzbeks way of life.

Today, we explored the Chorsu Bazaar in Tashkent on a rainy afternoon. The market is a vibrant hub with different sections for various items. We started at the butcher market, then moved to the milk and dairy section. Next, we ventured to the nut and spice market on the first floor of the dome market, where we found a variety of nuts in their shells, a new experience for us. After that, we visited the vegetable market, which offered a wide selection of fresh produce. Overall, our visit to the Chorsu Bazaar was a fantastic experience, despite the rain. The market's lively atmosphere and diverse offerings made it a memorable outing.

Great one. Biggest market with everything under a single roof including meat, dairy products, gold, vegetables, fruits, clothing etc. There's a metro station nearby as well as bus stop for easy commutation . Most of the shops are closed by 6 PM. So ensure to reach there in the day time to cover all shops (though it is not possible)

Tashkent Chorsu Market. A place visited by many people as a traditional market. They sell a variety of items, including dried fruits, fresh fruits, vegetables, potatoes, live chickens, and ornamental birds. A place that offers plenty of things to see for foreigners.
Aaron Chun — Google review
Huge market place with beautiful building. They are, you can buy and find practically everything from food, apparel and appliances. Worth visiting just keep in mind that you have to bargain a lot otherwise you’ll pay double price. And don’t go on weekends, you’ll be lost in the crowd.
Vladimir Panov — Google review
It’s a market. You will find local customers more than tourist. You will find many vegetable and fruits shops. It’s not only inside the dome. You will see many shops all around the dome. And if you are vegetarian then better you don’t go inside . Because all meat shops inside and it’s very scary.

A pleasant place to pass down during not sunny days. Beautiful, decorative trees, some are unusual for our area. Although before they sawed all the all trees it was better as the old trees were chinaras and were so high that it was a very shadowed place to walk around even during the sunny days. However when these trees grow up, in another 10 years it will be a lot better.

Nice park, interesting spot to walk around. Close a university and a mall. We just happened to find it as we were walking, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come and see it. To get across you can use the stairs to cross the road.

Amir Temur Square is the main town square in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. After the independence of Uzbekistan, the square was renamed the Amir Temur Square in 1994, and Temur's statue was placed on site. Adjacent to the park in south, the Amir Temur Museum was built in 1996. This is an absolute must visit attraction for tourists.
Muhammad Waleed Sadiq — Google review
Huge statue with intricate detail. It's almost like everything in the area is built around this one statue. Pretty cool to see once or twice, but wouldn't call it a tourist attraction.
Masoud Farkhari — Google review
The history of the Amir Temur Square is itself intimately tied to the history of Uzbekisan. Amongst the former "patron saints" were Stalin and Karl Marx. Since Uzbekistan's independence in 1994, the statue of Amir Temur, who is no doubt the national hero for the Uzbeks, has graced the Square and it is indeed known as the Amir Temur Square now. The Square is quite big, and when we were there we did see a small scale military step. It also comes with very nice landscape and it is perfect for a rest stop here. We also stopped by Hotel Uzbekistan nearby.
Helen Yu (Chestnut Journal) — Google review
Small square with the monument of Amir Temur. You will also see the iconic uzbekistan hotel nearby and the clock tower. It's close by to the metro station, but a yandex is cheap and does the trick to go anywhere. Better to visit during the morning.

The Amir square is a little park and ideal for an afternoon stroll or to from all your sightseeing in Tashkent. The highlight of the square is the 6 meter high statue of Amir on his horse. A popular place for locals and tourist to take selfies. Well worth a visit

Decent spot to relax and enjoy some downtime in Tashkent. Pleasant open space ambiance. Park is adorned with trees and flowers making it a great place to take a leisurely stroll or simply find to sit and unwind. But place may be a bit too hot in the summer/afternoon as there's not really a lot of shade for everyone. Bring some sunglasses and umbrella during hot weather. Located near Uzbekistan Hotel, Amir Temur Square is conveniently accessible. You won't need a lot of time here though as the park's not that big. Maximum 15 minutes should be enough I think. In conclusion, if you're looking for a nice spot to take a break or have ice cream at while in Tashkent, feel free to check out Amir Temur Square. Just be prepared for the potential heat in the summers/afternoons! ☀️ Follow me on FB/Instagram @thefoodienomadcom for more reviews! Hope this helps.

Book a hotel near Amir Temur Square for convenience, then take the underground metro to reach Amir Temur Square. From there, it's a short walk to the State Museum of Temurids, and you can continue on foot to Independence Square, which takes about 20 minutes, allowing you to enjoy the sights along the way.

This park was very pleasant and clean and also had lots of benches for sitting down and enjoying the peace. The statue in the centre was huge and Timur (Tamurlame) is very much revered here. His empire lasted three generations before fragmenting but the architecture and scientific advances live on. We then continued to walk around the park and were interviewed by two groups of school children to see what we thought of the country, why we were there, how long for etc. This was actually lovely and they were incredibly polite and well spoken, I wish I'd thought to ask them questions.

The Amir Timur Square (Uzbek: Amir Temur xiyoboni, Амир Тимур Хиёбони) is the main town square in Tashkent, Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 The predecessor of the square is a park built during the first governor-general of the Russian Turkestan era. The square was at the intersection of two main streets, Moscow Street (now Amir Timur Street) and Kaufmann Street (now Milza Ulugh Beg Street), under the name of Constantinov Square. It was built in 1882 by Nikolai Ulyanov (Ульянов, Николай Фёдорович Ульянов) working under Mikhail Chernyayev.[1] After the 1917 Russian Revolution, the square was renamed the Revolution Square. While Joseph Stalin's statue was placed in the square during the late 1940s, it was removed due to the October 1961 resolution that all Stalin's statues would be removed. In 1968, a statue of Karl Marx was erected. After the independence of Uzbekistan, the square was renamed the Amir Timur Square in 1994, and Timur's statue was placed on the site. Adjacent to the park in the south, the Amir Timur Museum was built in 1996.

A very strange reservoir in the mountains. I don’t recommend going there in the spring. There is little water. A dry clay desert forms hundreds of meters along the coast. The coastline is very dirty. Wet clay. The lake is suitable for swimming in the middle of summer, when the snow begins to melt in the mountains. Be careful the water's edge. Podhrd to the water found only on the territory of the Pyramid hotel. Entrance $1.

The museum is dedicated to the great ruler, Amir Timur. It was established in the year 1996 celebrating the 660th anniversary of the birth of Amir Timur. The museum has several exhibits including a duplicate Koran. The interior of the museum is decorated with paintings, pillar and a huge Chandelier in the center. Nearly half day is required to visit the entire museum. It's a must visit place in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

On 18-07-2021 along with my 2 other friends planed to visit Amir Temur Museum. After a 20 minutes of ride we reached there. It’s situated just near to the Uzbekistan Hotel and Amir Temur Square & Park. Marvelous building and efficiently maintained. We bought 3 tickets of 48,000 Soum almost 5 US$. Our decision to visit this museum was really good. Museum is extremely resourceful in every aspect. You can find almost every bit of Temurid dynasty from Amir Temur to last king of India Bahadur Shah Zafar. I liked the most was A manuscript of Holy Quran (Hazrat Usman Quran) and a comprehensive chart related to the Genealogy of Amir Temur.

As the name implies its the place to be to learn about the Temurids and their leaders such as the OG Amir Temur and Ulug'bek teacher of life. Lots of family trees and small scale replicas of famous monuments in Uzbekistan good to wet the appetite before embarking on a silk road expedition.

Small museum to Amir Timur and his legacy. The main central hall is stunning and I think this alone was worth the ticket price of 25000 som (for foreigners). The rest of the museum has some various objects but nothing outstanding. I think I was here for about 30 minutes.

Traveling during a pandemic is a surreal experience. My family and I may just be the only foreign tourists in Tashkent right now. The museums are open but completely empty. Lucky for us! Halls are empty, docents are kind. They have translations in English and QR codes that link to Wikipedia pages. It's also beautiful inside.

The ticket lady is flat out rude. Needlessly aggressive and argumentative. Refused to let us buy a ticket for a tour. Worst person I’ve met here and definitely miserable with her life. Someone’s gotta figure out the employees of this place cause it’s unlike any other employee I’ve encountered here. The museum itself is beautiful and the guide (that we went out and found ourselves) was very kind and fluent in English! We didn’t understand the pricing here and gave him 25,000 thinking that was normal, but now I know it’s not. Please give the guides more money for their time!

Tamerlane.The three-story rounded building of the Museum is framed by a dome in classic Oriental style. The interior is richly decorated with marble, unique paintings, and gold leaf. On the walls of the halls, a fresco depicts the life of Tamerlane, as well as paintings that convey the atmosphere of those times. The highlight of the Museum is a crystal chandelier with a height of 8.5 meters, which consists of 106 thousand pendants.The Museum's exhibits tell visitors about the history of Uzbekistan during the reign of the Timurid dynasty. The Museum has more than 3 thousand exhibits. Here you can see jewelry, clothing, musical instruments, tools and other items of the middle ages. A copy of the Osman Koran, the Holy book of Muslims, is kept in the Central hall.In the Museum you can also see numerous correspondence of Tamerlane and his descendants with the monarchs of European countries, paintings depicting the great commander, various miniatures and models of famous monuments built in our country by the Timurid dynasty.

If you’re serious about understanding and learning more about Uzbekistan’s history, you have to visit this museum when you’re in Tashkent at least once. Admission fee is about 25,000 som (~ US$2).

Interesting museum, mostly models of Temurid era buildings, quotes from Timur's writings, and some ceramics. 25,000 for foreigners.

The central hall of the museum is gorgeous, and the large chandelier is especially impressive. However, you have to pay money other than the entrance fee to take pictures inside.

Museum of Applied Arts is one of the major tourist attractions in Tashkent. It is a small yet interesting museum with historical applied artworks. The interior specially the walls are skilfully painted with eye catching views. There is a gift shop as well at the back with amazing handcrafted clothes and many interesting souveniers. Highly recommended for all the tourists visiting Tashkent.

Loved this small museum. Wonderful selection of textiles, miniature painting, jewellery, ceramics, wood carving and metal work. Also carpets. The gift shop is vastly overpriced. There is a tiny cafe with a few options. Lovely walk from the metro through an old part of Tashkent with low buildings and trees.

State Museum of Applied Arts of Uzbekistan is an art museum located in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, founded in 1937 as a temporary exhibition for handicrafts. The museum showcases over 4,000 exhibits on decorative art in Uzbekistan, including wood carving, ceramics, embossing, embroidery, and samples of mass production in local industry. It’s a must visit place for all the arts & crafts lovers. There are some unique showpieces which are very old suzanis, and seeing them lined up next to each other makes it very for interesting experience.

The museum is in an unassuming building and cost 25k Soms each to go in. We actually spent a couple of hours inside looking at the exhibitions on silk making, musical instruments, jewelry, embroidery and other similar crafts. Every exhibit had an English description which was really useful. It was interesting to see the transition, maybe 50 years ago, from hand woven and embroidered items to machine made and also the change from natural to artificial dyes. Once we'd finished we sat in the courtyard cafe and had a coffee and Deb bought a couple of bits in the little shop.

Beautiful museum but only evident on the inside. The place also hard to locate as road signage not prominent. A lot of details confronting us when we stepped in. There are also a lot of exhibits displayed with more respect. It would b easier to take Yandex taxi to get there.

Ticket foreigners - 25000 Lots of interesting items throughout the museum. Most of them are made with in the last 50 years. If you're looking for older artifacts this is probably not your place. We enjoyed seeing the national costumes and lots of the weaving work. You can scan the free Wi-Fi code on the wall to get connected. You can also scan the codes by the displays to learn more about them but we couldn't get it to work. The museum website came up but the pictures wouldn't show and no audio played. Worth an hour or two visit and it's in a pleasant neighborhood for a walk or a coffee nearby.

It's just an amazing place. You will learn much about the history of Uzbek applied art by getting an incredible buzz from the works themselves. There are no outrageous attractions here, just mesmerizing architecture and a cool store with national paraphernalia inside.

They really need to change the name of this place. I was put off a little bit with the industrial sound, but it's really a remarkable museum. On the smaller side, but it had plenty of examples of uzbeki arts and crafts that were lovely as they were fascinating.

Peaceful day outing to see the large mosque, bright colors and decent architecture. Nothing specific around here except a copy of the Quran claimed to be one of the 7 original handwritten copies.

It was about time for the midday prayer and I almost didn’t get to see it because they were about to start praying, but my guide was able to ask permission for me to take a peep for five minutes. I walked around the inner complex and appreciated the sights. There are rules that you have to observe when entering the mosque, so please be aware of them.

Just wow! We got a ticket for a ballet show a month in advance, and on the day of the event we found it got canceled... The administrator got involved and Medina and her amazing team got us tickets to the next ballet show, which was the National Ballet of Uzbekistan performing Lazgi. Mom and I were accommodated the best seats on the main floor. And it turned out this was a milestone in my life. I have never seen such representation of cultural values. Everything was like watching the flow of water. The harmony between these dancers, the physical proximity made me shed a few drops for real, between the performers the words were not needed to communicate emotions. I now have a unique appreciation of ballet and performing arts. Do not skip Alisher Navoiy if you're in Taskent, even in Uzbekistan. It's worth every second :) Greeting from Istanbul! 🇹🇷 🇺🇿

Every weekend and even on a weekday this place will keep you entertained. Classics from all over the world from Ballet to Opera, from local Uzbek artists and performers from Europe, Africa and Oceania . Beautiful place with very comfortable seats which were renovated just recently. Also tour guides of the theater itself are available with different rooms dedicated to Samarkand, Khiva and others. Must see places for any visitors that want to discover Tashkent.

We loved this museum, my 2 year old was so happy here! The trains are incredible and are in fantastic condition. We also enjoyed the ride on the little train that goes down the track in the middle of the museum. It perhaps would've been nice to have a bit more information about each train, it's history etc, but I would still recommend this museum to anyone visiting Tashkent!
Jessica Neath — Google review
Amazing place. More expensive for foreigners but really worth every single penny. It's a lot bigger than the entrance makes it out to be. Not a lot of information in english, but just the opportunity to see up close these beasts of soviet engineering and climb all over the trains and the drivers cabs makes it an incredible experience. Both steam and diesel locomotives as well as a small selection of carriages. A fantastic place to visit if you're in tashkent, only minutes from tashkent central train station and about 10 minute walk from the russian orthodox church.
J — Google review
Actually pretty awesome. They remodeled, repainted, and all in all a treat for old train lovers, children, and for 20,000 sum (less than 2$) it's definitely worth it. You can also snack tree berries along the way. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because you can only enter 1 train and even the inside of that one is pretty bad which is a shame... Entering trains would have doubled the time in the museum and there's no gift shop which I think would be nice. That's about it.
Rotem Sadia — Google review
Great place to visit with kids. Some of the trains are in pretty good condition. They even operate a small railway inside the museum. Please be advised of the ongoing construction work in the outskirts of the museum, be extra careful there as in parts it is more a construction site rather than a museum.
Ilya Vasilenko — Google review
Good selection of (restored/painted) soviet era trains to look at. No information given about them but you can climb on and into the cab of ~20 of them. 30k entry, 60k train ride. The ride is short but the driver let us sit in the cab and gave the kids a turn on the controls and horn.

A stellar collection of soviet era trains (1940s-60s). Nothing beats a soviet steam train - and you can climb into the cabs of these 2 storey mechanical behemoths and pretend to drive them! Currently undergoing refurbishment but still worth a visit. When finished this place will be a must-see!

Interesting place worth to visit in Tashkent. There are a lot of locomotives of different types and years of manufacturing. Old puffers are really impressive. Almost all locomotives are accessible to enter inside that makes an excursion more interactive and interesting. You can also request for a guide and get a tour with historical knowledge of the machines.
Anatolii Shcherbyna — Google review
It is not a real museum I would say. Very dirty, all the dust, all the spider webs. You can many workers still work inside, in that circumstance, is it appropriate to charge for 30000 sum per adult? If you charge for tickets, then you suppose to make it a nice place for visitors to go. Not all these mess. All the wires, mechanic tools scattered around. I would never recommend anybody to go there! 10minutes walk, then done. Not worth it. Even it is free, I will never go again.

The beauty of the Architecture is also in the way the place has been maintained. A 16th century structure looks so vibrant and new that it could have been built in the very near past.

Minor Mosque in Tashkent is a stunning embodiment of modern Islamic architecture, a true jewel in Central Asia. Its majestic presence is marked by traditional marble, towering minarets, and a striking turquoise dome. Inside, the mosque provides a serene and simple retreat, perfect for contemplation and prayer. I had the blessing to observe Fajr prayer here, an experience that highlighted the mosque's tranquil ambiance and spiritual depth. The integration of technology with tradition is evident in the multi-lingual Mushafs featuring QR codes for online Quran recitation, reflecting the mosque's commitment to accessibility and modern relevance. Its cleanliness, organization, and the innovative approach to religious texts make it not just a place of worship, but a symbol of Uzbekistan's rich history and its role as a cultural crossroad.

The Minor Mosque, despite its name, is anything but Minor (it is named after a region called Minor). As Uzbekistan’s biggest mosque, it is the centre of worship and prayer. We arrived by train at 7am in the morning, and it was perfect timing for an early visit, and indeed we found peace and quiet there. Remember to dress and act respectfully.

This museum might be only two levels, but it’s fantastic. Covers the country from pre-history through today and is a great introduction to the country if you’re starting your tour in Tashkent. It will leave you inspired and ready for the adventures you’re about to experience as you tour the rest of the country, or will be a great summary of your trip if you visit this museum on your way home. It’s wonderful that the museum has been able to retain so many ancient artefacts. The third floor is covered end-to-end in models of Uzbekistans many modern achievements, which I personally think are very cool.
Joshua Patek — Google review
The entrance fee is 15.000 som for locals and 50.000 som for foreigners, with extra charge for photos, which is a pity. I've spend a little more than an hour to cover everything, and I could easily say that this is the best museum I've been to in Uzbekistan, but mostly because the others were really bad! The exhibition is somewhat basic, a lot of information is presented just in Uzbek, and in general it feels like someone was really trying, but didn't have the materials and the talent to make it nice. I would lower the ticket price twice and allow pictures for free to make it worth visiting.

This museum is in a large building, with the exhibits on the ground and first floors. It covers the history of the region from the stone age to the present day. There were some beautiful creations from the Persians and Bactrian Greeks as well as Bhuddist sculptures that were so prevalent in the area before the rise of Islam. There were sections on the massive contributions to science, medicine, architecture and culture that made this area critically important to world history. There was also a very large section showing how the country had improved since independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. This part was created by the Islam Karimov school of propaganda and was rather one sided!
Marcus Hurley — Google review
One floor is dedicated to pre-history through until the end of communism. It is OK but a little dry. Not enough interesting exhibits and too much reading text. The other floor is dedicated to the current period since Uzbek independence. The propaganda here is too emphasised and detracts from the historical information.

The museum is expensive for foreigners (25000 sum) and not really worth it... It seems big from the outside, but the exposition is poor and the upper floor (dedicated to post-independence Uzbekistan) is more of a propaganda aimed at locals than an informative museum. Would not recommend a visit.

The museum covers from prehistoric to Soviet periods. A half of the exhibition focuses on the medieval period in which you can get a more elaborate perspective at the museum of Temurids.

Sophie Yang — Google review
There are very few English language sources on Uzbekistan’s history, and this museum will be your go-to in order to learn about Uzbekistan. Its whole of Level 2 is dedicated to the (official) version of national history, tracing back to as early as prehistoric times and early settlement up till Independence. The artefacts on display speak amply to both the government’s effort to educate visitors and the very fact that, though little known to the outside world, Uzbekistan is rich in heritage and should be so proud of its national history. The country has really come a long way.
