About the place

Mukhtar Ashrafi, composer and conductor, wrote some of the first Uzbek operas. The museum opened in 1982 in the flat where he lived and worked from 1965 to 1975.

Five rooms follow his life: his childhood, with a model of the house he grew up in; three rooms on his music by period, with manuscripts, programmes and posters; and a room on his teaching and public work.

  • The composer's own home
