This is neither a house nor a museum. Just the walls and the vault remained. Yes. The walls are old. Apparently, in Soviet times they covered everything with plaster, but then they accidentally found it and now they serve it to tourists as a chip. Now they are trying to restore something, but on their own, from improvised materials. They don't speak Russian. Only "yes" and "more money". Because everything else was bypassed, we looked here.
The old grandfather lures me in. You come in, but there's not much to look at. Yes, restoration is underway, but this is not a museum. At the exit, this old grandfather starts asking for money. They took out a wad of money (500-700 thousand soums) from their pocket to count it out and give him 100-200 thousand. Grandfather snatched the whole pack out of his hands and says it's for the tour. It's not a pity for money, but I didn't like the approach itself
We also fell for this crazy grandfather. There's nothing to see there. In the end, it became clear why the restorers themselves were not so happy with our appearance (I hope they get at least something). In the end, my grandfather asked for money for the "excursion". They gave him 15,000 soums, although it was possible to leave quietly.
It entered the museum for free during the reconstruction in June 2024, the walls, stucco and the structure of the building itself have already been partially restored. I enjoyed it
Construction is in full swing. There will probably be another rich citizen. The builders insistently began to invite them to look inside. I looked in. Homeless man. They didn't ask for money. And I wouldn't give it to you.
The house itself, and the remnants of the former splendor of the interiors, are certainly impressive.
Hopefully, one day the restoration will be completed, and the museum will work as it should -with an official cash register, without any deception and extortion.
There's nothing to see there! The owner (or whoever) put up various pictures and exhibits of the 20th century.... for example, a soldier's military uniform, porcelain figurines....It's not worth paying attention if you're just going to walk by!
A local grandfather insistently invites you to look at the ruins of the once beautiful "house of a rich citizen", and then just as zealously asks for money for it. If you want to look at the beautiful interiors of rich Bukhara houses, it is better to visit the Emir's palace in the north of the city or any other place, but not this
The house is really interesting, but it is at the stage of restoration and renovation. There is no price list. The caretaker will come and ask for money, Ask for more. Ostensibly for repairs.
An old ruined house, there are remnants of beautiful decoration, but! ...all this looks more like a garbage dump and a barometer. The bonus is an old man who greets you with a smile, invites you to drink tea from unwashed dishes in front of you, invites you to look at these ruins and then demands money)) moreover, some require up to 100,000 soums)) which is clearly inadequate. In general, the sight is sad and uncomplicated, there is no point in going there if you do not like such places. There are many interesting things in Bukhara without this divorce.
All this garbage museum in the middle of the construction site is managed by the left grandfather, a scammer, who, after inspection, will demand 50000-100000 soums from you for this dubious pleasure. If you are embarrassed to just send it, I advise you to empty your wallet in advance, leaving no more than 10 thousand soums there, and give it to him, showing that there is nothing else, then he will leave you alone with displeasure
The place is atmospheric, but today, unfortunately, it is a cross between a construction site and a landfill... Especially the "caretaker" delivers, when asked how much it costs to look, he replied "You know" how much they knew and gave, he began to demand 3 times more... 50,000 got off... The "caretaker" left an extremely negative impression...
It is clear that the monument is ancient, but this does not mean that it is not necessary to maintain it. There's a mess in the yard...It was interesting and a pity that it was not kept at the proper level.
It matches the description - a crumbling 19th century house. The interior decoration, rich enough for that time, gives a wonderful feeling of that era.
No ticket office, no tickets. The cost is determined by eye. 100,000 soums were charged to me, my wife and children, which is about 8 dollars. It is more expensive than in other places of Bukhara.
Oh, the city administration! Help save the house! You can make such a candy there... They climbed out onto the roof through the second floor. A caravanserai is being restored from the ruins nearby. The old man-the owner collects from visitors who will give how much. The roof was flooded. Now I would like to raise the front wall with windows and save the interior.
I do not recommend visiting. Only if you've seen everything in Bukhara. Any backyard in the post-Soviet space looks the same. Just ruins and mountains of old junk
It is badly destroyed, unfortunately there is nothing to look at at the moment. There are more interesting locations in the city, in much better condition. I do not recommend wasting time and money.
A pleasant atmospheric place, grandfather does not bother, but kindly invites you to watch. He did not say anything about the payment, symbolically they gave 10 thousand sums.
