About the place
The palace was built in 1938 to a design by the architect A. I. Pavlov and is a listed example of 1930s Soviet architecture; it was substantially rebuilt in 1979–1980. Inside are a cinema, a concert hall, two libraries and the Museum of the History of the Uzbek Railway.
It also runs children's clubs and amateur music and dance groups, from a ballroom dance ensemble to a folk-instrument orchestra. The Railway Workers' Park and the open-air Tashkent Museum of Railway Equipment belong to the same complex, so the three are easy to visit together.
