Memorial House Museum of Ural Tansykbayev

In one of the residential districts of Tashkent, among the apartment buildings, there is a small house with a memorial plaque at the gate, which indicates that the outstanding artist of Uzbekistan, Ural Tansykbayev, lived and worked here. This house museum was opened in 1981, 7 years after the death of the master, and its creator and first director was Tansykbaev's wife, Elizaveta Yakovlevna.

Ural Tansykbayev was one of the most famous artists of the USSR, who captured the life of Uzbekistan in the middle of the 20th century. As a simple worker in his youth, he absorbed all the images associated with his Homeland, which later transformed into hundreds of paintings depicting the life of the Uzbek people and the beautiful nature of his native land. Today, his works can be seen in the Tretyakov Gallery, the Museum of the Peoples of the East in Moscow, as well as in museums in Uzbekistan.

The center of the Ural Tansykbayev house museum is his workshop, where everything has been preserved the same as in 1974, and even his unfinished work "Charvak in 1973" still stands on the easel. In addition to the studio, the house includes a living room where the artist hosted guests, a bedroom, as well as a private office. And everything in this house is arranged as it was during the painter's lifetime. Also, in 1994, to mark the 90th anniversary of Tansykbayev's birth, a two-story exhibition hall was added to the house museum, which contains large canvases and those works that were not represented in his house.

The exhibition hall also houses a storage room for the artist's funds. And between the house and the hall there is a small garden, the trees in which were planted by Ural Tansykbayev himself. The total area of the museum house is 377 square meters, and the number of exhibits exceeds 4,000, including 400 paintings.
