The museum needs an urgent refurbishment.
First there should be signs directing to museum. Parking is not available.
The old lady guide was very nice and welcoming but the museum was in bad condition.

A review from my mother: "At the end of October, we traveled with our daughter to Uzbekistan. In Samarkand, one day was dedicated to museums. At the Sadriddin Aini House Museum, where his bust is installed in a cozy courtyard, we were greeted warmly. To listen to a lecture on the life and work of a famous writer, we were invited to sit on the terrace of the house, where busts of prominent figures of his time were located. I listened to the guide's fascinating story as if I were watching a movie: the images of people were so vivid, and the historical and geographical facts were curious and amazing. It was interesting to find out that Tajik Sadriddin wrote not only in his native language, but also in Uzbek. Then we got acquainted with the house where Aini Sadriddin lived and worked. We saw the interior, felt the atmosphere. The simplicity of the prominent man's life was striking: despite the scale of his personality and contribution to history and culture, he lived very modestly. Visiting the museum left a pleasant impression and a feeling of gratitude for preserving the memory of a worthy person. I recommend that all history lovers include a visit to this wonderful museum in their travel plan."

The museum is a must-visit at the very beginning of your vacation in Samarkand! A wonderful lecture by the head of the museum, for the two of us they told the whole history of Uzbekistan on the example of the incredible life of an excellent writer, whose stories I immediately wanted to read!!! You won't regret going!

I really liked the tour at the museum of the brilliant writer, thinker and public figure Sadriddin Aini. After such a detailed story by the head of the museum, Amriddin Pulaev, our view of the history of the region changed.
I recommend this museum to be the first to visit, the perception of other attractions of Samarkand will be more interesting and deeper.
I will note the convenient location on the main street.

Walking through the streets of Samarkand Sadriddin Aini under an audio guide, I wanted to go to the house museum. I strongly recommend staying at this place. Special thanks to the head of the museum Amriddin for the amazing and fascinating story about the great writer and Samarkand.

A very cozy and unusual place. You can feel the spirit of the writer and the special atmosphere of the house. In the process of telling a female guide, you get into it and realize that the person had great talent, which earned respect and honor from his students and colleagues. I recommend you to visit! Many thanks to the museum staff who keep the memory of the writer alive.

Samarkand is famous for its architecture: madrassas and tombs. We also came here for this, and it seems that we were not going to dig deeper than traditional tourism. But by chance we came across Sadreddin Aini's sweet house museum. An unknown person, whom everyone knew about an hour later from the excellent guide and the head of the museum. An hour on the terrace in the rain with a story about the great writer is one of the best memories of Samarkand. I highly recommend you to visit. Without this museum, the picture of Samarkand and Uzbekistan would not be complete.

I made a very pleasant impression, the head of the museum - from the old Samarkand intelligentsia - conducted a tour in pure Russian academic language, a great enthusiast in his field. I haven't read his books like that, but I remember an old folio with his name on the cover, and I hope it was introduced into the local school curriculum.

The colorful and interesting house of Sadriddin Aini. The house has been well preserved, the interior is very beautiful, and the personal belongings of the writer and his wife have also been preserved. The staff of the house museum told everything in great detail, informative and interesting about the life of the writer himself and about the house.

A museum employee conducts a very detailed tour: an introduction about the history and politics of the country, a biography of Aini himself, a story about the current situation with the museum.
Recommended to all lovers of literature!

Unexpectedly cool place. The museum's exposition itself does not produce a wow effect, but the fact that the head of the museum told us about Aini, his life and the events of that time makes this place stand out from our entire journey. The museum staff really love their work, they are very friendly and interesting storytellers.

We were not offered an excursion, I learned that it exists only later from the reviews. In fact, at the museum, an employee came with us into each room with the words: this is his office, this is his bedroom, these are his personal belongings, this is tooth powder. Given the lack of translation on the exhibits, nothing. Fortunately, the ticket does not cost long, it is free for children. Not much time has been spent. I strongly do not recommend it without an excursion.

A small but very interesting museum.
I searched for an entrance for a long time, as I came from the side of residential buildings (as shown by the navigator). Everything turned out to be much simpler, you need to enter from the main street from the side of the roadway.
Of course, I didn't know anything about the writer, but after returning home, I really wanted to get acquainted with his work. The girl from the museum recommended 2 works - "Old School" and "The Death of a Pawnbroker", which was even filmed.

A wonderful cozy museum! Unfortunately, we did not know anything about this talented poet, writer, educator, and distributor of the Tajik language until this day. We arrived at 16:30, there was one man who, for 50,000 soums, conducted for us an interesting hour-long(!) tour about this person important for the culture of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and the world as a whole. My husband and I were very impressed, the guide is so enthusiastic and tells us so competently that we came out with only one wish:read at least one book by Sadriddin Ainiya!!

A corner of silence in the center of the Pleasant museum keepers, a good exposition, an interesting story of the writer. After the museum, I wanted to read some of the writer's works, I think this is just the main achieved goal of this museum complex 🙏

A very interesting story of the writer and the history of the time when he lived. A wonderful guide. It is necessary to go only with an excursion. It's a pity you can't buy books there. I will buy it at home. Be sure to go.

A very intimate place in the center of Samarkand. You fall into an authentic atmosphere. And Aini's personality is very remarkable.

The museum would not be interesting without a tour. And I really liked the guide. We had an interesting and sincere tour. Before - they didn't know anything about Aini, after - they learned and most importantly, they remembered a lot. It's a shame that when they were looking for an entrance to the museum, they asked the locals, and no one even heard that they had such a museum in their city. It's a shame.
