In the very center of Tashkent, near Independence Square, there is a modern building of the Fine Art Gallery, which opened its doors to visitors in August 2004. However, the history of the gallery began 10 years before that: in 1994, at the initiative of the President of Uzbekistan I.A. Karimov, a collection of fine art was created, collected by the National Bank for Foreign Economic Activity of Uzbekistan (NBU). And when the number of exhibits grew so much that they could not fit in the bank’s gallery, it was decided to open a full-fledged exhibition hall.
The Art Gallery of Uzbekistan hosts a very good collection of Uzbek painters pre- and post-independence. The collection has seriously grown in scope and size since the death of Islam Karimov, with more interesting work now also on display, besides the paintings of melons and landscapes.
An added attraction is a superb coin collection. It contains a piece of almost all coins ever to be found in Uzbekistan, across historical eras. Indian, Chinese, Greek, Kushan and Roman coins are on display besides Mongol, Persian and Timurid issues from medieval times.
In the Gallery of Fine Arts of Uzbekistan in Tashkent, an exhibition of the remarkable artist of Uzbekistan Dilorom Mamedova is taking place. I share with you a photo of paintings from the exhibition. Look, if possible, visit the gallery, get pleasure and inspiration from the paintings by Dilorom Mammadova.
A large collection of fine arts of Uzbekistan from the beginning of the 20th century to the present, as well as a unique collection of numismatics of Central Asia, are presented in the Gallery of Fine Arts, which opened its doors on the eve of the Independence Day of the Republic of Uzbekistan in 2004.
The modern equipment that the Gallery is equipped with ensures compliance with the strictest temperature, humidity and security conditions necessary for the demonstration and storage of exhibits.
