Museum Of Amir Temur

Museum Of Amir Temur
After Uzbekistan became independent in 1991, much attention was given to the revival of the nation's spiritual and cultural heritage, including recognition of historical persons who had an important role in world civilization. Among those was Amir Temur, the warlord, politician and reformer, patron of science, education, trade, culture, and craft. Having established a great centralized state, he strengthened its power and also united many nations and people. Amir Temur's rule promoted science, education, culture, architecture, fine arts, music and poetry, laying the foundations of the Timurid Renaissance.
Former President Islam Karimov encouraged celebration of Timur, linking the Mongol ruler's achievements with the President's own style of governance.^[2][3] Karimov declared 1996 to be the “Year of Amir Temur”, and the 660th anniversary was widely celebrated in Uzbekistan, and the republic subsequently resolved to build a state museum in central Tashkent, featuring the Timurid history.^[4]
The State Museum of the Timurids’ history is named exactly so, because it numbers more than 5 thousand of exhibits, referring to the period of Timur’s governing and the dynasty of the Timurids.
Amir Timur Museum in Tashkent was established in 1996 in honor of celebrating the 660th anniversary of the birth of Amir Timur.
The Timurids Museum is situated in downtown Tashkent, in the square near the monument of Amir Timur.
The Timurids Museum is amazing with its pompousness. The building of the museum is a round engineering design with the classical eastern dome. Amir Timur Museum has three storeys, the second and third storeys are fully devoted to the Timurids’ history. The interior of the museum is richly adorned with marble, pillars, paintings, eastern miniature, tinsel, and the building is ornamented with canopy. The walls of the halls are paintings, depicting Amir Timur’s life and pictures from the country’s history from ancient times till the present. One cannot admire the cut-glass chandelier, which is the adornment of the Timurids’ history State Museum. The height of the chandelier is 8,5 meters.
The exposure of the museum is rich in archeological, ethnographical and numismatic materials. Accoutrements and objects, which got to the kingdom of Amir Timur along the Great Silk Road, are also in the Timurids Museum. The museum has important documents such as letters of Amir Timur and his posterities with European kings; clever pieces of thumbnails, copies of Amir Timur’s pictures, painted by European artists of those times.
