Contemporary art Museum of Uzbekistan
About This Museum
Tucked away in the ancient region of Xorazm, a stone's throw from the historic city of Khiva, you'll find a surprising gem—the Contemporary Art Museum of Uzbekistan. It's a place that feels both deeply rooted in its soil and boldly looking out at the world. Inside, the air hums with creative energy, a stark and beautiful contrast to the timeless desert landscape outside. This isn't just a gallery; it's a vibrant conversation between Uzbekistan's rich past and its dynamic present.
Collection Highlights
You'll see everything from large, textured canvases using traditional pigments to provocative sculptures pieced together from Soviet-era relics. The work of local artists like Babur Ismailov captures the play of light on old city walls, while others explore modern identity through digital media and installation art.
Visitor Information
It's easy to find in central Urgench and well worth an hour or two of your time. The atmosphere is quiet and contemplative, a perfect cultural pit stop on your way to or from the UNESCO sites.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a renovated Soviet-era building, its clean, modern lines and large windows create a bright, open space that lets the art take center stage.
