Gallery is housed in a beautiful building. It is well lit, well presented, good temperature throughout. It obviously has a good number of visitors and has regular interesting temporary exhibitions. Set on two floors. It comprises some very interesting pieces. The majority of work is from 1900 to present day. Very enjoyable and worth a visit.

Located in a quiet street near some embassies this showcases a range of exquisite art and handicrafts. It doesn't take too long to wander round. It has a lovely wee shop at the back and a nice courtyard to relax under awning with a coffee.

The monument with the small park around is well-kept and looks beautiful. The museum is small but nice, with 2 turquoise blue domes. The memorial and the museum "In Memory of the Victims of Repression" applies to the years under Soviet reign until Uzbekistan became independent. Mainly the time under the Bolsheviks, from 1917, and under Stalin. Authoritarian power through politics, the police, the public prosecutor's office and the judiciary - not only towards individuals. The place is nice and tells of history and the understanding of suffering under Soviet reign. Historically relevant, tragic and sad. Definitely a must if you want to get to know the history of Uzbekistan. Also nice for a cozy little walk there, really a nice monument and little park around. The monument can be viewed in combination with the city tour by bus. There is a short stop of around 15 minutes. Or else, if you want to visit the museum, you can take the bus or the metro (Shahristan St). I prefer the taxi.

I had some time to kill between meetings at the Hyatt so took a 4-hour walk around Tashkent. Passed the Autograph on the way back and decided to take a look inside. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and range of art and handicrafts from Uzbekistan for sale. Excellent handwoven Uzbek fabrics and pillowcases, ceramics, jewelry, beautiful paintings, woodcarvings, even clothes for sale - all in one easy to navigate place, all nicely arranged. Slightly more expensive than some other shops and markets around town but the Autograph was definitely a much relaxing more shopping experience. Excellent service and wrapping of things for the flight home. Highly recommended.
