Sadriddin Aini House Museum

The Sadriddin Aini House Museum is a monument to the work of the great Tajik writer who made an invaluable contribution to the development of literature in Central Asia. In the house-museum preserved living rooms and offices in which the writer created his stories and novels.

The Sadriddin Aini House Museum is designed to draw attention to the life and work of the world-famous Tajik writer and educator, the founder of new Uzbek literature. The former house of Sadriddin Aini is located in the old center of Samarkand. It became a haven of the writer since 1917, when the writer was hiding from repression by the Emir of Bukhara. In general, Sadriddin Aini spent about 35 years in the house, alternately living in the old and new buildings.

In the house-museum there are two working rooms of Sadriddin Aini. It was here that works were created that brought a meter of Uzbek literature world fame – “Odina”, “Old School”, “Slaves”, “Death of the usurer”, “The Rise of Mukanna”, “Yatim”. Time spared the living rooms in which Sadriddin Aini spent many years with his family. In the house-museum you can see the objects of the pre-revolutionary era, characterizing the traditional life of the Tajik family of those years.
