This museum lacks the depth and shows superficial facts of regional history. The staff is friendly but this place needs significant enhancement.

Externally, the building is very beautiful, inside it is more modest. It includes archaeological finds, exhibits of national clothes and carpets, an exhibition of paintings, and more. Tickets cost 30,000 soums, we were lucky and we were allocated a young guide. The overall impression remained positive, and the new knowledge gained complemented the mosaic of the general idea of the history of Samarkand and Uzbekistan.

It is better to start your trip around the city with the historical museum. Good exhibitions with the sarcophagus of Amir Temur, copies of the Koran, archaeological finds and works by the artist Benkov

Not the most interesting place in Samarkand. Don't waste your time and money. They only accept cash, and you will not be able to pay with a card or QR code. few exhibits

There are several interesting museums in Samarkand. The most interesting museum of the history of Samarkand is Afrosiab. There is also an interesting museum of peoples and tolerance of religions. The museum of local lore is interesting in its own way, especially the Jewish part. Even the tetragrammaton of God's name can be seen.

It's a strange place. Employees are following us around as if they think we want to steal or spoil something. The exposition itself leaves much to be desired - a small-town museum of the village level, and not a tourist center of Uzbekistan. In order to go to some new hall, they were asked to take off their shoes (explained by the presence of a new carpet, on which you can not walk in shoes). They refused. I don't recommend it.

Poorly developed exposition, little information. The app only works if you are connected to wifi, which is inconvenient. The building needs renovation. At the same time, the staff is very friendly and nice

The Central Museum of the Samarkand State Museum-Reserve. The museum's exposition tells about the rich cultural history of the peoples of Uzbekistan.

The museum is wonderful, many thanks to the curators. A good selection of exhibits, although there is an obvious bias towards materials from Samarkand. Special thanks for the upper gallery with local crafts - suzane seems to have something similar to a tapestry. We were very satisfied, we will come again.

1. The first disappointment is that there is no Russian-speaking guide, excursions in Russian are not conducted. The second disappointment is Pavel Benkov's wonderful painting "Girlfriends" in 1940 (copy or original?) it stands on the floor under the stairs near the passage to the toilet. Without any identification marks. What is depicted in the painting? Two girls, a Russian and an Uzbek, who have become friends, and an Uzbek girl shows a new girlfriend how to pick grapes. The blonde girl looks at the huge juicy bunches with delight. And the girls are closely watched by a grandfather in a turban and curious brothers. Pavel Petrovich Benkov is a wonderful artist, moved to Samarkand in 1930, was one of the leading artists of the Samarkand Art School, which bore his name until 1991. His paintings are full of light, joy, colors and love for Uzbekistan, where he remained until his death. - Do you have any more paintings by Pavel Benkov in the museum? - Yes, but mostly in the vault. There seems to be one or two in the hall. We only found one. 2. Carefully reading the description of the museum stuff, they found a strange thing that was listed as "A pendant for a cage with a kerepsack. III half of the XIX century". They began to Google who kerepsyaka was. Google doesn't know anything about kerepsyak. They began to fantasize. The caretaker, who had been enthusiastically watching a video from her phone, came up to our laughter. - Tell me, please, who is kerepsyaka? - What??? - Well, it says here -... - Ahhh. It's a canary. That's what our staff wrote. I teach them... In general, we learned little about the history of Uzbekistan in the museum, more about modernity.

Why is the painting "Girlfriends" by the Honored Artist of Uzbekistan Pavel Benkov standing on the floor under the stairs?! This is a wonderful picture, like everything that Pavel Benkova painted in Samarkand. Otherwise, we liked the museum very much, we went through all the halls, read about yurts, carpets and clothes, an interesting hall about the history of the study of Timur's burial. I would also like to tell you about such an element of the national costume as a skullcap in the hall of clothes. Which is also mentioned by A. Navoi and is still popular with Uzbeks and tourists. There are so many kinds of them, so many ornaments...

The guides are always sleepy, and they are not allowed into many halls in order to save electricity

The internal content of the museum does not correspond to the external appearance. There are not many exhibits, some of them were given for restoration or "rental", and nothing was put in place

To be honest, such museums are very similar in the three largest cities of Uzbekistan. If you haven't been to others, have fun, it will be interesting. If you have already been to similar ones, then you will just see something similar

the ticket for foreigners is 25 thousand. without a guide, it's just a set of exhibits, it's not interesting, only if you go prepared Taking pictures is a separate fee, but no one really looks after it. it's good that there is a nazzar application, as well as three floors with various objects of antiquity and culture of Uzbekistan
