Khorezm Museum of History named after Al Khorezmi and Beruni

The Museum of History of Khorezm named after Al-Khorezmi and Beruni is one of the most interesting museums in Uzbekistan. The museum was opened for the anniversary of Al-Khwarizmi – the great Asian medieval scientist, founder of algebra. The museum is also named in honor of Al-Biruni, a historian and philosopher, a native of Khorezm.

Khorezm is the most ancient region of Central Asia with a rich history, so the museum that describes this history and stores exhibits, monuments and objects associated with this region is definitely worth a visit. Through Khorezm at one time passed the Great Silk Road.

Most of the exhibits of the Museum of the History of Khorezm were found during archaeological excavations on the oldest settlements of Koykrylgan-Kala of the III century BC and Toprak-Kala of the VI century AD. From the Toprak-Kala Palace, fragments of wall paintings, ancient sculptures, statues were transported to the museum. The museum dedicated to the Middle Ages many models of buildings and structures, as well as fragments of decorations of facades of architectural buildings, cladding, art and much more. The entire exposition of the museum was moved from the Tash Hauli Palace, where the museum was located for some time.
