Archaeological Museum, Termez, Uzbekistán
The archaeological museum of Termez houses interesting exhibits recovered from the slew of archaeological sites in the greater Surkhandarya region. To get a good grasp of the historical context, it makes sense to visit the museum first before you head out into the countryside to view the sites themselves.
The museum’s collection focuses mostly on the Graeco-Bactrian and Kushan era. It is worth noting that its most famous exhibits, like the seated Buddha under the Bodhi tree and the Kushan prince’s head, are reproductions; the originals can be seen in the history museum of Tashkent and in Saint-Petersburg.
