A museum which demonstrates the story of the life of a great scholar, who was able to make one of the biggest achievements of oriental scholars in the medieval age. Ulughbek was the grandson of the great Timur and was prominent for his unique knowledge and understanding of astronomy, for building the best for that period observatory, for being able to obtain the most accurate data on the location of stars and the duration of the year. The only more accurate information was obtained in our days using electronic astronomic tools.

The museum is quite small. With the entrance fee of 40,000 per person, not much to see. But the surrounding area is well kept and manicured. Good for one visit, definitely would not come again.
