Nukus Museum of Art

Definitely recommend to visit. You never leave the museum before you spend at least 3 hours. Also recommend you to hire a local guide (from the museum) so that you can get more information you never though about.

I.V.Savitsky, fascinated by the discovery of the civilization of Ancient Khorezm, inspired by the variety of landscapes, deserts and low mountains of the Karakalpak land, embarked on the salvation of the amazing culture of its people. And his historical mission was, while preserving the folk art of the Karakalpaks, to gradually move to the no less humanistic task of saving the works of Russian avant-garde artists from the 1920s - 1930s from death.There are collection comprises over 90,000 exhibits of various kinds there. The items are displayed in three buildings with a total area of almost 7,000 sq. m. The museum exhibitions consist of the Ancient Art, the Applied Folk Arts of Karakalpaks, the Uzbek and the Russian paintings of the 1920-1930s, as well as the contemporary art of Karakalpakstan. Now the museum is well-known. Our museum was included in the touristic route of the “Golden Ring of Khorezm” organized with UNESCO. People all over the world come to see our museum.   It is recognized one of the most visited museums of Uzbekistan and in 2011 it was awarded with the Diploma “The museum is worthy of tourists’ attention” for its active attraction of tourists to our Republic.
