Davlat Tabiat Muzeyi
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in Tashkent, this place is a total surprise. You walk in and are immediately greeted by the towering skeleton of a whale, which sets the stage for a journey through time. The halls are packed with everything from glittering minerals to incredibly detailed dioramas of Uzbekistan's diverse landscapes. It feels less like a formal museum and more like exploring a wonderfully cluttered attic of the natural world.
Collection Highlights
The massive whale skeleton hanging in the main hall is unforgettable, and there's an entire room dedicated to local wildlife, including the now-rare snow leopard. Don't miss the extensive exhibit on Central Asian dinosaurs and the stunning collection of crystals and gems.
Visitor Information
It's easy to find on Zarkaynar Street and seems to be a hit with locals and tourists alike. Just check their hours before you go, as they can sometimes vary.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is a classic example of Soviet-era institutional architectureβimposing and solid, with a grand entrance that hints at the wonders inside.
