Ulugbek Memorial Museum<br />
Samarkand, Tashkent street, 1<br />
The Ulugbek Memorial Museum was opened in 1964, and in 2010 it had major overhaul along<br />
with the nearby observatory. The museum tells about the life and scientific activity of Mirzo Ulugbek<br />
– the great scientist of the Middle Ages.<br />
The entrance part of the museum building was erected in the style of the portals of medieval<br />
madrasahs, and forms a single ensemble together with the foundation of the observatory and a<br />
unique instrument. The shape of the museum building itself is similar to the dial of a medieval clock,<br />
each part of which tells about Amir Temur and his grandson Mirzo Ulugbek.<br />
Among the exhibits there are astronomical and mathematical instruments and manuscripts found<br />
by archaeologists in the ruins of the observatory and its environs. The exposition also contains<br />
models of architectural monuments of Samarkand, Shakhrisabz, Bukhara and other ancient cities<br />
of Uzbekistan.<br />
