Om
Raske fakta: Over 250 000 gjenstander finnes i samlingene, fra steinalderredskaper til praktfulle tekstiler fra 1800-tallet. Et av museets mest fascinerende objekter er en 2000 år gammel bronsekjele fra det gresk-baktriske kongeriket.
Høydepunkter: En hel sal er viet til veggmaleriene fra Afrasiabs palass, hvor en 7 meter lang fargerik scene viser en prosesjon med hester, kameler og utenlandske dignitærer fra 600-tallet. Maleriene ble oppdaget først i 1965 og regnes som et av de viktigste arkeologiske funnene i Sentral-Asia.
Insidertips
- Ask the staff to turn on the light in the display case with the gold jewelry from the Amu Darya treasure, otherwise the details are not visible.
- The third floor with the ethnographic department is often forgotten but has the most beautiful textiles and embroideries.
- Combine the visit with a walk up to the observation platform for a panoramic view of the city.
- Bring your own headphones for the audio guide, the borrowed ones are of varying quality.
