タシュケント天文学博物館

The Tashkent Astronomy Museum is a science museum in the Uzbek capital dedicated to space exploration and astronomical research. It displays telescopes, models of celestial bodies, and various instruments across different exhibition areas.

The museum was established in 2009 as part of efforts to promote astronomical education in Uzbekistan. Its creation reflected a focus on honoring the country's scientific traditions and scholarly heritage.

The museum honors Islamic astronomers from medieval times who made discoveries that shaped our understanding of the sky. Visitors can see how these scholars worked and what their contributions meant for science back then and now.

The museum is located in central Tashkent and is easily accessible by public transport. Visitors should allow enough time to explore the exhibits at a comfortable pace and take advantage of observation opportunities when weather permits.

The museum operates its own observatory that allows visitors to observe the sky during scheduled evening sessions. This opportunity is especially valuable for anyone wanting to see the moon, planets, or stars through a large telescope for the first time.
