About

Art Gallery of Uzbekistan is one of the youngest museums of Uzbekistan as it was established after the Independence of the Republic. It first opened for visitors in August 2004. However, its history goes back to 1994 when the President of Uzbekistan, Islam Karimov set up a fine art collection amassed by the National Bank for Foreign Economic Activity of Uzbekistan. [1] When the exhibits in the Bank gallery increased rapidly, the government decided to open a full-fledged exhibition hall, which after some time became the Art Gallery of Uzbekistan.

Nowadays, the Art Gallery of Uzbekistan is one of the most modern museums of Uzbekistan and it is equipped with all the necessities to store and display the paintings. The Gallery was reconstructed and received its new look in a short period of time after its establishment.

The exhibition area of the Art Gallery of Uzbekistan is estimated to be 3,500 square meters, with 15 rooms. Meanwhile, there is a conference room, lecture hall, small cinema hall, library and studio to hold masterclasses, and workshops. There are cafeterias and small gift shops at the main building of the Gallery.

Instead of only showing its own stands and exponents, the gallery also receives some international and local exhibitions, and some cultural events.

Location

Art Gallery of Uzbekistan is located in Buyuk Turon street, Tashkent city, Uzbekistan. It is open to the public for 6 hours every day except Sunday and Monday. [2] [3] [4]
