Bukhara Museum of Fine Art

Bukhara


This museum of art has a worthy collection of mostly 20th-century paintings by Bukharan and Russian artists, including the atmospheric works of Pavel Benkov. Look out for works by Zelim Saidjanov, the Bukharan artist featured in Colin Thubron’s Lost Heart of Asia and Shadow of the Silk Road. It’s in the former headquarters of the Russian Central Asian Bank (1912).
