State Museum of the Temurids
About This Museum
People don't just come to the State Museum of the Timurids to learn history; they come to understand a legend. This modern, domed building in the heart of Tashkent is a shrine to the power and legacy of Tamerlane, the 14th-century ruler who forged a vast empire from Samarkand. Inside, under a brilliant blue ceiling reminiscent of his capital's grand mosques, you'll find his story told through intricate manuscripts, gleaming weaponry, and larger-than-life portraits. It feels less like a sterile archive and more like walking into the epic saga of Uzbekistan's most formidable son.
Collection Highlights
Look for the stunning replica of his crown, detailed medieval maps that chart the expanse of his empire, and fascinating folios from the era that showcase the artistic flourishing he championed.
