If you’re in Tashkent, a visit to the Art Gallery of Uzbekistan is definitely worth your time. It offers an insight into Uzbek art, featuring works by artists such as Ural Tansykbaev from the 1930s to contemporary voices from 2025. Depending on the current exhibitions, the range spans from impressionist-style paintings to modern video installations and traditional Uzbek crafts.
