The Kokand Regional Studies Museum
The Kokand History Museum was opened in 1925 inside the former palace of the Kokand Khan, Khudayarhan.
The palace was built in the 19th century, and today it is a historical monument of Uzbekistan, which perfectly blends in all kinds of traditional arts and crafts.

The facade of the museum is decorated with colorful ceramic mosaics, and the doors are decorated with beautiful woodcarvings. The ceiling of the museum is made with carved grooves in combination with the gold pattern. There is an aivan with twenty-one columns in the courtyard.
The collection of the Local History Museum includes more than 30,000 various exhibits that tell us about the prevailing traditions, customs, and history of the city. The museum consists of a few departments: Mukimi-hudjra (study room) museum; the house museum of Khamza Khakimzada Niyaziy, and the Djami-architectural complex.
The Fine Arts Exposition shows visitors the development of sculpture and painting not only in Uzbekistan but also in Russia and Western Europe. Here are rooms with historical documents, calligraphy, history books, and documents from the Khan's archives with letters and decrees.
The Kokand Regional Studies Museum regularly holds exhibitions, seminars, and different thematic meetings and conferences. Life never stops within these walls.
The museum is open every day, seven days a week. In 2015, the Kokand Regional Studies Museum will celebrate its 90th anniversary.
