Andijan Regional Museum
The museums in Uzbekistan are distinguished by a unique selection of collectible exhibits, each of them has a special significance and value because artifacts serve as tools for connecting times. After all, unique artifacts of all eras are collected here. Different states of the Fergana Valley left traces of their stay (a piece of soul, culture, etc.). Together with architectural monuments, you can study the state’s formation. Museums in Uzbekistan and local Fergana collections have exciting masterpieces (canvases, sculptures, household tools, art objects that can tell a lot about people's lives at different times).
The Andijan Regional Museum displays each of these characteristics. In addition, artifacts are constantly replenished (excavations in the Fergana region continue to this day, and they find fascinating objects). The modern Regional Museum of Andijan has acquired several thematic areas. At the moment, the museum has the following branches:
• archaeological (exhibits discovered as a result of local excavations tell the moments of the country formation)
• exhibits of applied and fine arts (entourage and items will allow you to trace the development of crafts and culture)
• ethnographic (allows you to see the scientific developments of the ethnic groups' researchers)
The Regional Museum of Andijan conveys the atmosphere of various epochs (the staff was able to recreate it, thanks to modern technologies and their diligence). The extracted items of the exposition will help trace the settlement formation from ancient times to the present day.
The Local History Museum of Andijan has more than 66 thousand exhibits. They were restored with the help of the best Fergana craftsmen and scrupulously performed the work. The collections will help the visitor to find something informative, to discover something own, especial. The historical highlights of the entire Fergana region are reflected here not only in the exhibits but also in the atmosphere itself. The attractive feature is that not only antiquity is represented here, but also the most modernity. The museum exhibits paintings by modern artists and craftsman's masterpieces that revive traditional art&craft technologies.
The building itself of the Soviet era (year of foundation — 1934) also attracts attention with its unusual architecture (it is simply impossible to pass by). The famous building is located on the northeastern edge of the Jami complex, in the old city part. The exhibitions are constantly organized here. Guides will tell you all the most exciting and unusual things about the culture, the origin of the peoples who lived in this territory in different eras.
