The Afrasiab Museum is an amazing place that takes visitors back to the era of ancient Samarkand. Located on the territory of the settlement of the same name, the museum holds a rich collection of artifacts telling about the life of the city, which existed more than 2500 years ago. Here you will find unique exhibits, including ceramics, jewelry, ancient coins and even the remains of frescoes that preserved scenes of life from those times. 🏺 One of the main treasures of the museum is a seventh-century fresco found during excavations. It depicts a diplomatic reception, and every detail of this work is striking in its subtlety and historical value. Thanks to the professional exposition, you will be able to feel the spirit of antiquity and learn more about the culture and traditions that existed at this place thousands of years ago. 🎨 We recommend visiting the museum with a guide who will help you uncover all the nuances of history and make your trip as interesting as possible.

We really liked it! An interesting museum, be sure to take a tour, we had it for 80 thousand, but as I understood it was possible to bargain. Before visiting, it is better to climb the remains of afrosiab on your own, and then, having already imbued with the atmosphere, go to the museum. There are remains of real frescoes of that time, ancient drawings on fabric, restored just the same according to the drawings on the frescoes, remnants of the Zoroastrian era, etc.
