SOLOMON'S THRONE MUSEUM

Museums

This strange museum has been set up in the largest of the caves on the cliff. It presents the different religions that were once followed in the region: Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Shamanism, Islam. The different places of worship are represented by cardboard and pasteboard reconstructions. Don't miss the cave called "stone fantasy", a marvel of useless kitsch.

Beautiful photographs also of Osh, and especially a very nice collection of shyrdaks.
