Uzbekistan Museum of Geology, Geological museum in Mirabad district, Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
The Uzbekistan Museum of Geology is a scientific institution focused on minerals, rocks, and fossils from the region. It contains roughly 50,000 specimens spread across twelve different exhibition halls within its main building.
This institution was established in 1988 based on collections that the Uzbek geological service had gathered for nearly 75 years. The specimens come from scientific expeditions conducted throughout the country over multiple decades.
The museum maintains international partnerships with geological institutions from Japan, Korea, and other countries, facilitating research exchanges and joint exhibitions.
Plan to spend several hours exploring both the indoor halls and the outdoor geological park on the grounds. It is helpful to allow extra time if you wish to view specimens in detail or join a guided walk through the displays.
An outdoor geological park on the grounds displays large-scale mineral and rock formations that complement the indoor galleries. This open-air extension offers a different perspective on how geological specimens appear in their more natural scale.
