Afrasiab, the land of the old settlement holds many secrets of ancient Samarkand. I was on an excursion, I was lucky with the guide. A place of power. I recommend it for a visit.

The museum is not exactly interesting. The most amazing thing there is that an ancient fresco found in the settlement of Afrosiab was moved there during excavations.

The input is 40000summ. The exposition is extremely poor. Replicas are on display on the ground floor and part of the wall is just a printed print on a Banner. There are a lot of empty frames on the second floor. It costs neither time nor money. Of interest, only a couple of skulls of Zaroastrians and a clay water pipe. I attached a photo - take a look and consider you've seen everything))

It's boring, the exposition is too small, it's not very interesting for a mass tourist. Perhaps it is important for professionals.

The museum is interesting for tourists interested in the history of Samarkand and the cultural heritage found on the site of the excavations of the city of Afrosiab.it is useful for anyone who is interested in local ceramics and the history of its formation.

Perhaps it will be interesting for artifact lovers. But, in my opinion, 96% of tourists find a very boring object. It is better not to pay attention to this place. There are more other places in Samarkand that are much more interesting and attractive. This is a personal opinion, you don't need to take me with hostility.

It is very interesting and informative, 30,000 soums for admission, there is a lot of useful information in Russian in the halls. Polite staff, they can tell you something too. A 10-minute film about the murals of the walls of the Ikhshid palace is shown in a separate room. I recommend it!

An old Soviet-style museum, rather boring. The most valuable thing is a piece of the surviving ancient frescoes. You can only go if you plan to walk around the territory of the former city nearby (it's free)

A great tour and a good guide! After that, we returned to the hotel and watched the movie Alexander (Makedonsky), just about what was in the museum and the guide's stories

The Afrosiab Museum is dedicated to the history of the founding of the city of Samarkand. It is better to visit it with a guide!
One of the unique exhibits of this museum is the frescoes of the Samarkand palace, belonging to the Ikhshid dynasty (7-8 centuries).
The scene in the fresco is interpreted as "The arrival of the royal bride."

The museum is being renovated, they take money, but there are no exhibits. There's only a five-minute movie. Maybe it will be fine after the repair, but there is nothing to do there now.

The exposition was assembled at the Union, and the building was built at the same time. The air conditioning is working. For a general understanding of the history of Samarkand, it is worth a visit. They also show a film telling about all parts of the exhibition

The museum is rather weak. Mostly utensils. A lot of things are not signed, it remains to guess what you are looking at. The highlight of the museum is the central hall with a circular fresco. In principle, this mural stretches the entire exposition of the museum. The excavation site behind the museum is a desert. In general, the museum is worth visiting only if you have already seen everything in Samarkand

The museum looks like a typical slightly neglected legacy of the USSR, they did not go inside. The settlement of Afrosiab, which is often recommended to visit, we simply could not find — there are big problems with navigation in the vicinity. We wandered around the hills, the museum and the Jewish cemetery in confusion and left without eating salt🥲

Disgusting, disgusting and disgusting. Once in this museum, it becomes disgusting to be in a country with such a level of corruption. The exposition is minimal: tableware, tableware, tableware, ossuaries, ossuaries, ossuaries. On the second floor, the hall of the history of the Silk Road is overlaid with rags and cardboard banners with pictures. Wikipedia is more informative. Do not waste time and money, even if it is small.

A great museum. We took an excursion, it cost 40,000 soums. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in history, because it's not every day that you can look at how people lived in the 7th century BC.

The museum is in the process of restoration, as I understand it. But I still really liked the atmosphere inside. It seems to me that this is a must-visit place to get a closer look at the history of this ancient city.

An interesting museum, a guide is needed, it is interesting to walk through the ruins of the ancient city, everything is strewn with shards. Everything that was found was taken to the museum, that's what people do: they take it or put it in a pile near the stone on which the information is written. I recommend

It's a good museum. Locals say that there used to be more, but then they divided it up and moved part of it to the city.
The place is beautiful, quiet and peaceful.

If you are interested in the ancient history of Samarkand and the region as a whole, then it is worth visiting, the frescoes are interesting, the rest of the exposition is weak. If you want to walk around a deserted settlement later, then it's better to go to the museum so that the picture develops better.

I expected more from the museum. Part of the museum was closed due to some kind of international forum. I really liked the frescoes.

I didn't take the audio guide. The guide - yes. Everything is very interesting in general. Detailed comments were very appropriate and helped to understand the history of this place, as well as the subjects depicted in the frescoes. I highly recommend both the museum and the guide.

There is nothing to see in this museum, at least in winter. Five boxes of cotton and a dozen rubber tracks. Wasted time and money on entrance tickets and taxis.

It's not interesting without a tour. There are even no signatures for some of the exhibits. I knew that in the museum, for example, a clay mousetrap of the 12th century was supposed to be exhibited. She came up, realized from the form that she and the employee confirmed it, but it just lies there, without a name. A strange approach to the exhibits. The most interesting and valuable hall on the ground floor opposite the entrance is the murals that decorated the throne room of the rulers of the 7th-8th century. Subjects: reception of ambassadors from China, wedding embassy. There is an architectural decoration from the 9th century Samanid palace.

A very, very cool museum. I recommend taking an audio guide. We were given free of charge and despite the fact that this Vlad is far from the first point in the journey, we all spent a decent time there with interest.

We expected to see a more extensive and diverse exposition of Afrosiab. But in general, it is very poor. I remember rather the monument to the caravan walking near the museum.
