It is worth going to this museum with a guide, then the history of this house will be perceived in a completely different way. This house was built by the merchant Kalantarov for the arrival of the Russian Emperor Nicholas II, an Italian architect from St. Petersburg was invited to build it, the interior was created by local architects from Bukhara and Samarkand. The house was completed in 1916. But it so happened that Nicholas II did not come to Samarkand and the merchant Kalantarov and his family settled in the house. The family lived in this house not long before 1920, one summer the merchant had a dream that the Bolsheviks had arrested him, in the morning Kalantarov went to the new government and donated the house to the city. Thus, the merchant saved his life and his family, the Soviet government allocated Kalantarov a small apartment. After the Great Patriotic War, a thoughtful old man was seen next to this house (the prosecutor's office and the museum of local lore were located there), who, if people were interested, told and showed the house for free. This was the merchant. Abram Kalantarov died in 1951.

The museum has a wonderful atmosphere, a sufficient number of different exhibitions, starting with the oldest exhibits and ending with objects of the 20th century. The only drawback will be the lack of heating in winter and air conditioning in summer.
