About the place

The museum grew out of collections gathered in the 1890s, soon after the town was founded, and has been rebuilt and expanded several times since. It is a good overview before or after travelling around the valley.

Displays cover finds from ancient sites such as Kuva, traditional costume and silk, Rishtan ceramics, and the plants and animals of the valley and its mountains. Labels are mostly in Uzbek and Russian.
