We were in Samarkand in the middle of February 2026. We decided to visit the zoological museum at the university. We had an amazing tour by the Scientific director of this museum in Russian. We liked the tour of the museum itself, the collection is very decent and interesting. There is also a small accessible cafe near the museum. There is a small greenhouse nearby, you can take beautiful photos. We recommend you to visit for everything!!

I came to see the famous greenhouse, and ended up in, as it turned out, an equally famous zoological museum. The manager was instantly captivated by the story of ancient and modern animals. I found out who the taxidermists and endemics are, that even the largest emperor penguins are small, that there are birds whose males immure their females in a hollow while incubating eggs and feeding their chicks. Very informative, wonderful exhibits. I recommend it!
