Spectacular, colorful, informative, informative. And on a budget: the price of an entrance ticket is 25,000 soums (about 150 rubles) plus the same amount for the tour if desired. The exposition is compact, but capacious. All kinds of crafts and applied arts of Uzbekistan are represented in historical and geographical terms: ceramics, metal stamping, wood carving and gancha (mixtures of gypsum and special clay), jewelry, carpet weaving, miniature, musical instruments, caskets and papier-mache chess. There are many interesting authentic exhibits: mirrors, dishes, household items, furniture, clothes. There are so many carpets that against their background (as the audience used to like to shoot), you can write down more than a dozen questions for connoisseurs of the intellectual club "What? Where? When?" Some halls, such as the living room of the first Russian ambassador Polovtsev, who arrived in Uzbekistan in the 1930s to organize a population census, are real architectural masterpieces. Patterned ceilings, tiled stoves, a collection of old porcelain and ceramics in wall niches, a fountain in the center (not working) – everything makes a strong impression. The huge oak tree in the yard, which is about 150 years old, is unique. I was pleased with the pomegranate tree: it is not often that you will see this delicacy and usefulness "live" on the branches. I really liked it here. Yes, I also managed to try on the burqa – with the obligatory: "Gulchatai, open your face!!" I strongly recommend you to visit

An excellent museum for exploring the types of applied arts and crafts of Uzbekistan.
The mansion itself, in which the museum is located, is a separate attraction.

I really liked the museum! The first thing I want to note is that there is an audio guide. And the exhibits are beyond praise! The works of Uzbek craftsmen and craftsmen are impressive! What a needlework and talented people!
And the staff here is very attentive and polite.
I recommend this museum for viewing.

There is an electronic guide, detailed stories about fabrics, patterns, compositions accompany the entire exposition, the museum is clean and tidy, there is a souvenir shop in the courtyard, but the price is much higher than average, even for books. But it is very interesting if you try to make out the little things, such as the poses of the figures or a small drawing

I really liked the museum: there are many halls, each hall is dedicated to a certain kind of art: fabrics, embroidery, carpets, etc. An incredibly beautiful old house . You can download the guide at the checkout and listen to the tour (preferably with headphones). The entrance cost 25 thousand soums

The museum is very strange, you can walk by yourself in 15 minutes, but they persuaded us to take a tour, we didn't stay very long, the guide was strange, I don't advise.

A spiritual institution, in the best traditions of the Soviet era) An indefatigable exposition, at the same time quite adequately reflecting the origins of the life of the people of the country. For the initial idea of art.

One of the coolest museums built in the former palace of the Russian diplomat A. Polovtsev. Cool artifacts, interesting halls and the atmosphere itself is cool

Neat, cozy, beautiful. It's a pity that the exposition is small, I want more carpets and fabrics) and the opportunity to take a tour right on the spot, rather than negotiate in advance.
For immersion in the atmosphere, I highly recommend it.
And there is a huge gorgeous oak tree growing in the yard!

A very chamber museum, several halls, each dedicated to a separate skill (painting on fabric, carpets, embossing, carving, etc.). You walk yourself as much as you want, you can take photos and videos. There is a toilet inside. I really liked the expositions, they are as saturated as possible, the carving is amazing!! there are explanations in Russian.

An excellent museum with the ability to use both live guides and audio guides using QR codes. The history of the development of manufacturing and processing of various materials and products at different times from ancient times to the present is visible. Very entertaining.

A beautiful building, a modest collection, a significant part of which are exhibits of the twentieth century.

A neat neighborhood.

A wonderful museum! Numerous types of art by local craftsmen are represented. And in Uzbekistan there is something to admire: fabrics, carpets, embroidery, wood carvings, metal and ceramic works. Musical instruments. And the house itself, where the museum is located, is very beautiful. I was there on Sunday afternoon. There were few people. I took a tour, I didn't regret it. Those who are interested in such things will get aesthetic pleasure.

I conduct excursions for Russian groups here. It is noteworthy that all this beauty was ordered at one time by the Russian diplomat Alexander Polovtsev, the son of that famous Photographer, whose house is located in St. Petersburg and where they take excursions

Briefly, interestingly, beautifully.
A good choice if you want to watch something from the history of Uzbekistan, but with young children.
Familiarized, not tired)

The museum has existed for quite a long time, since Soviet times.
1. How many times do I go to this museum, the guide is somewhere, usually at lunch (11:00h) or will be after some time. The guard, raising that it will take a long time to wait, kindly almost immediately offers an audio guide, which is free. The cashier is also not in place, they paid at the exit.
2. The most unpleasant thing, I would even say terrible, is all the expositions of ancient excavations, artifacts collected over the years throughout Uzbekistan and carefully preserved, which delighted with their masterpiece, all the exhibits of modern, at best, the 70s, have long been withdrawn instead of them. And I remember the unique truly ancient exhibits that were found by archaeologists, world-renowned scientists from all over the Union in the hope that they would surprise, delight and delight visitors from all over the world, and after all, they came here for this ...
3. Foreigners who were in the museum look at the new model with bewilderment and quickly leave the halls.Dear employees, museum management, think
about what is happening in your museum.
But the shop is quite large, it sells everything for dollars in the hope of foreigners, but the guests do not buy much, because all this can be bought much cheaper in the markets...

It is a very beautiful museum, be sure to get to it and download the audio guide. And then you will find out that this is not just a rug (see photo) with an incomprehensible ornament, but solid ones... birds. There are black swallows in the middle. Take a closer look!!! If you walk slowly and with an audio guide, you will plunge into the wonderful world of oriental symbols, amazing names of objects will delight your ear, and your hand will constantly strive to take a photo. If you have extra time in Tashkent, then you should definitely visit this museum!

This is a small museum with an uninteresting exposition. The most striking impression is the interior of the hall with an internal fountain. The miniatures in the hallway are also interesting, but they are modern.
A large store for dollar tourists in the second courtyard occupies a large area. In general, this is more a place to check off than something that can change your condition.

The museum is quite good. There are many expositions on all kinds of applied art - carpets, embroidery, woodcarving, toys, plates, sets, miniatures, knives, etc.
One problem is the audio guide! He's terrible! He speaks very slowly with sighs and "ahs". It is located on some crooked site that Safari refuses to work with. Transfer audio guides to the Youtube platform, for example, where at least you can increase the listening speed to 2x. I had to walk around and read the inscriptions.

That's where a tourist needs to go without fail.
A wonderful collection of samples of applied art of Uzbekistan. Patterned adras, embroidered suzanne: and it's all handmade.
Delicate miniatures, both ancient and modern. Carved tables and screens.
I got great pleasure from touching folk art.

A small, but no less interesting museum. The exhibits and the entourage are impressive in detail, disappointed only by the fact that most of them are relatively not ancient (60-80-ies of the 20th century). For tourists: "foreigners" are written on the receipt, so the price is different for the guests of the country

A small, rather cozy museum.
Ceramics, textiles (suzanne, carpets), jewelry, musical instruments, household items are presented.
There are few antique exhibits, mostly new models. Apparently, all the antiques "went to private collections."
