The State Museum Of Arts, Uzbekistán
The State Art Museum of Uzbekistan was established in 1918. Its initial fund comprised of 100 works of sculpture, paintings, drawings, porcelain by Russian and Western European masters from the collections of the Prince Romanov and other private collections of that time, nationalized by the Soviet government after the revolution.
It was originally called the Museum of National University. Only in 1935 it became the State Museum of Art, and has retained its name since then.
The museum’s first exhibition housed in a former palace of the Prince Romanov, later – in the building of the People’s House.
