Our expedition – was the richest data on observation of great works of embroiderers, seamstresses, patterns artists, carpet-makers, tanners, woodcarvers, continuing to develop an applied art that have been collected in the Museum of Art.
This museum constructed in one of the beautiful corners of Tashkent city in traditions of national architecture at participation of masters workshops where skillful masters have practiced training on weaving, carpet-making under ancient technologies and with natural dyes. It, in turn, promotes a concentration in one place of lost ancient subjects, such as sjuzane, carpets and etc.
The second stage of our exhibition were images of various birds sitting on horns of deer on another kind of sjuzane. For embroidering of one sjuzane with bright threads as yellow, red, blue – a skilled embroiderer spends almost a month. Zardevors – ornaments for the top part of walls of rooms which are available in the collection represent a narrow strip of fabrics. Bugzhamos – similarity of bags for keeping things, including cushions of royalty are decorated with vegetative and geometrical patterns only on one side.
And of course, especially compositions and paintings made by great artists are thrilling; they can allure and amaze any visitor with beautiful miniatures expressing ancient history – portraits of Temurid’s century or portraits of great scientists such as Alisher Navoi and Mirzo Ulughbek or colorful clear scenaries of nature.

In conclusion, The Museum of Art testifies to constant attention of Uzbekistan’s government to the national traditions, culture, art, people and its history. The museum will serve as a place of educational purposes of young generation in aesthetic and patriotic direction, and also a cultural part linking the past with the present. The Museum of Art really became one of miracles of one of the finest places of our country.
