It is worth going to this museum with a guide, then the history of this house will be perceived in a completely different way.
This house was built by the merchant Kalantarov for the arrival of the Russian Emperor Nicholas II, an Italian architect from St. Petersburg was invited to build it, the interior was created by local architects from Bukhara and Samarkand. The house was completed in 1916. But it so happened that Nicholas II did not come to Samarkand and the merchant Kalantarov and his family settled in the house. The family lived in this house not long before 1920, one summer the merchant had a dream that the Bolsheviks had arrested him, in the morning Kalantarov went to the new government and donated the house to the city.
Thus, the merchant saved his life and his family, the Soviet government allocated Kalantarov a small apartment.
After the Great Patriotic War, a thoughtful old man was seen next to this house (the prosecutor's office and the museum of local lore were located there), who, if people were interested, told and showed the house for free.
This was the merchant.
Abram Kalantarov died in 1951.

The museum has a wonderful atmosphere, a sufficient number of different exhibitions, starting with the oldest exhibits and ending with objects of the 20th century. The only drawback will be the lack of heating in winter and air conditioning in summer.

The exposition is quite modest, but it is still one of the best museums in Uzbekistan (here it is weak) Go ahead, it's worth a visit.
I write about the rest of the details of the trip in my telegram channel, the link is in the profile name. Come, it will be interesting

We came to the museum after lunch, there was no one at the entrance. Then the cashier ran out from somewhere. Any shooting is paid separately. The museum buildings are an old mansion. The caretakers didn't give a damn, they were sitting at the window chatting about their own. There was no light in one room. There are few exhibits. We even liked the mansion itself more, which has been preserved in its original form to our times, only the floor was changed. We sat down to sit on a bench in the courtyard of the museum, one desire was read on the faces of the employees, to get us out as soon as possible. They were sitting in the shade under the trees themselves.

I'm looking at photos of other tourists, and I don't understand - where are those beautiful halls that they write about admiringly?
In the part that I happened to visit ancient artifacts, horse bones and camel teeth, pieces of cladding, and warrior armor, clothing, dishes and other utensils.
The ticket price is 35 thousand, but they didn't give me a check at all. For the first time, during the period of walking around Samarkand and visiting attractions, 50 thousand soums were requested for filming. I said I wouldn't take it off, and I wouldn't pay either, but no one was watching.
In general, it's wonderful...
but if you have enough free time, you can come in.

There are two photographs of Prokudin-Gorsky here - these are two diamonds of the museum. There is a house with preserved finishes and furniture by merchant Abram Kalantarov, this splendor must be seen. To touch the history of the Russian Empire.

Ancient utensils, household items, archaeological finds are presented. There are stuffed flora/fauna inhabitants in the 2nd building. It seems the museum has not changed since Soviet times. Some of the exhibits have been covered in dust ever since. The entrance price is 25 thousand adults, 12 - children. After a short conversation with the cashier, the children are free.

An interesting museum. I recommend ordering the services of a guide at the museum. A very detailed story about the local way of life and the history of the region. Affordable price of entrance tickets.

Visiting the museum gave an opportunity to look at the history of Samarkand from the inside. I was very impressed by the exhibition about the history of the Samarkand Jews.

A museum that could have been missed if not for one thing. Stunning interiors of the main hall and several living rooms. The building was built by a wealthy Samarkand merchant, in the hope that Nicholas II would certainly pay attention to such attentiveness during the planned Central Asian tour. The First World War destroyed all plans, and the interiors can now be admired by everyone)

In the past, there was the house of a Bukharian Jew, a merchant, below there are a couple of halls with traditional potsherds, digging sticks and other artifacts, there is a mock-up of the housing of a poor Uzbek family at the beginning of the century, also not far from the diggers. The main hall of the merchant's house certainly contrasts strongly. Although you will go out into the yard - diggers again. On the second floor there is an interesting exhibition about Bukhara Jews in Samarkand.

A neglected museum, very sorry for the exhibits and facilities, which are amazing exhibits in themselves. I really hope that the museum will be put in order, as Samarkand itself is being transformed now. It is a must to visit!

A good museum for the district center of the 80s. Probably, it was not updated even minimally after opening.
It's fine if you wait out the rain
In good weather, it's not worth the time if you have 1 day.
2/3 of the museum is an extremely boring exposition from Soviet textbooks of geography and history.
1/3 - really beautiful and unusual hall of merchant Kalantarov

The interior is antique, especially the staircase to the second floor of the estate is interesting. Originally it was the palace of one of the merchants who lived in Samarkand. You can look at furniture, wallpaper and much more made several centuries ago.

A museum from the distant Soviet years. However, it is a very interesting building, the interiors of which can and should be viewed separately from the exposition. Interesting.

I highly recommend it. An interesting, informative museum!! Transmitting the flavor of the country, but different from everything similar in Samarkand.
I advise you not to pay extra for photos on your phone: 3-4 photos can be taken anyway (no one checks at the exit), and you don't need to take much more - you can just enjoy the atmosphere and interesting things.

An interesting mansion with an unusual history and interior. It is necessary to take an excursion - in the summer of 2023 it cost only 50,000 som, about 500 rubles. - And an hour and a half of a story about the history of the region and this particular house will allow you to learn a lot about Samarkand and Russian Turkestan

A modest exposition in an important historical place. The local history and natural expositions are not particularly interesting, but the part concerning the life of one of the richest Jewish families in Samarkand is worth a visit. The interiors themselves and the spacious courtyard are good. There are not many exhibits, there are interesting photos. There is not enough guide...

An amazing museum. This manor house was built by Abram Kalantarov, a merchant of the Second Guild, a Bukharian Jew. The Golada furnaces have not even cracked in a hundred years. There is furniture by Bonaparte Napoleon himself, on the second floor you will get acquainted with the history of the Jews of Central Asia.

I always avoid museums of this kind. In my opinion, there is nothing interesting there. One room that deserves attention was closed (the floor was painted). In general, it's better to walk around the city than to come here. I would write it in a stronger way, but the censorship won't let me through.
