About the place

Opened on 10 November 2015, this is one of the newest museums in the city and has no close equivalent elsewhere in Uzbekistan. Its main building is divided into four areas: the history of car-making around the world, the history of automotive technology in Uzbekistan, an interactive practice zone and a play area for children.

A second part of the collection is devoted to the natural sciences. It is in the Mirobod district, about five minutes on foot from Amir Timur Square, which makes it an easy stop with children.

Why go

  • Cars from around the world and from Uzbekistan
  • Interactive science zone
  • Five minutes from Amir Timur Square
