Geology Museum
About This Museum
Did you know some of the world's most stunning turquoise comes from Uzbekistan? This place is a treasure chest for anyone fascinated by the earth's deep history. You'll wander through halls glittering with mineral specimens, from amethyst geodes to local lapis lazuli that looks like a starry night sky. Then you turn a corner and come face-to-face with the massive bones of prehistoric creatures that once roamed this very region. It’s a journey through billions of years, all under one roof.
Collection Highlights
The fossil collection is unforgettable, especially the complete skeleton of a prehistoric elephant. Don't miss the 'Treasures of the Uzbek Earth' room, which overflows with radiant crystals and gemstones mined from local mountains.
