NATIONAL MUSEUM OF ANTIQUITIES
Read moreThe largest museum in the city, and the most exciting of the country, is well designed and presents very interesting pieces. One can admire a great Buddha sleeping 13 m long found in the Varch region and dated the fifth century. Beautiful frescoes and statues are also exposed, classified according to the excavation site in which they were found. For the rest: vases, collections of currencies and jewelry align in ds dozens of displays in a somewhat anarchic manner. Signs in English at the entrance to each room explain the history of the various archeological sites. However, we recommend that you log in during your visit to the museum's website, particularly well done, and rich in further explanations on all the exhibits displayed. As a result, you can take a tour of the small ethnographic or green department on the right in the courtyard. There are traditional musical costumes and musical instruments that detail the customs of the Pamir tribes. The way houses were designed is very detailed.
