Hakkında
Hızlı bilgiler: Over 4,000 items of Uzbek handicrafts are found in a former diplomatic palace from the 1930s. Hand-carved wooden ceilings, colorful suzani embroideries, and glazed ceramics from all over Central Asia fill every corner.
Öne çıkanlar: The entrance hall is a work of art in itself: every single centimeter of the ceiling is covered in hand-carved and gold-painted wooden panels, created by masters from Khiva and Bukhara. Pay attention to the secret inner courtyard with a fountain surrounded by blue glazed tiles, where the sound of water blends with the scent of jasmine in spring.
İçeriden ipuçları
- Take pictures of the ceiling in the entrance hall, it is the most impressive single work.
- Spend extra time in the suzani room, the details and symbolism of the embroideries are easy to overlook when passing by.
- Do not miss the museum shop, it sells genuine handicrafts at prices far below the bazaars.
- Visit the small courtyard before you leave, it is often empty and offers a quiet moment.
