With a rich collection spanning millennia, this museum beckons both enthusiasts and casual visitors on a captivating journey through the geological history of the region.

Established in 1918, the Museum of Geology in Tashkent has a storied history closely intertwined with the development of Uzbekistan as an independent nation. Originally founded as part of the Central Asian Geological Museum, the institution played a vital role in educating generations of geologists, researchers, and the public about the diverse geological landscapes that shape the country.

As Uzbekistan underwent significant political and social transformations, so did the museum. The institution evolved with the changing times, expanding its collection and exhibits to reflect the latest advancements in geological sciences. Today, the Museum of Geology stands as a testament to the nation’s commitment to preserving its geological heritage and fostering a deeper understanding of the Earth’s processes.
