Tashkent, UzbekistanAbout this attraction
The Museum of Timurid History, also called the Amir Timur Museum, stands beside Amir Temur Square in central Tashkent. It opened on 18 October 1996, marking the 660th anniversary of Timur's birth, in a year Uzbekistan declared the Year of Amir Temur.
The round building is topped by a blue dome that echoes the one at Gur-e-Amir in Samarkand. Inside it tells the story of Timur and the Timurid dynasty, including his grandson Ulugh Beg and the later Timurid rulers, through manuscripts, weapons, coins, ceramics and dioramas. It works well as an introduction to the Timurid era before you visit Samarkand, and the square outside, with its statue of Timur, is a natural place for photos.
