Tashkent Poly-technical Museum is the youngest working museum in Tashkent and in all of Uzbekistan. The museum was opened in order to show the development and history of automobile technologies in Uzbekistan and the rest of the world. This is the only museum to address this subject in Central Asia, which means that the Tashkent Poly-technical Museum is a unique feature of the Central Asian region.[1][2]

About

The Tashkent Poly-technical Museum was established during the Independence years of The Republic of Uzbekistan on the 10th November, 2015. It is the youngest museum in Uzbekistan as of April 2016, and is unique to Central Asia.

The main building of the Tashkent Poly-technical Museum consists of four different areas, which each consist of various exhibits concerning the topic of the area. The four parts of the Tashkent Poly-technical Museum are:

History of World Automobile Construction

This part of the Tashkent Poly-technical Museum shows facts and displays from the History of World Automobile Construction. There are various kinds of displays and exhibits which attract the automobile fans, as well as other demographics (e.g. tourists or school groups). Visitors can learn about the creation of the wheel, and the first automobile that was built. Continuing through the exhibition, visitors can dive into the atmosphere of Uzbekistan in late 1950's, where there is a large exhibit on this theme. Following this display visitors enter a section on the development of agricultural machines in Uzbekistan. The stand shows the history of agricultural development in Uzbekistan in chronological order, which means the displays progress from the simple agricultural tools, to the large machinery such as tractors (all of course developed in Uzbekistan). The displays in the History of World Automobile Construction department are: “Fordzone” (1924), “Universal” (1934), Axos-34, Gaz-13, Moskvich-400, and many other minor exhibits related to the automobiles.[4]

History of Automobile Technologies in Uzbekistan

The History of Automobile Technologies in Uzbekistan exhibit shows remarkable moments of automobile technologies in modern Uzbekistan. The main content of this exhibit is cars which were produced in Uzbekistan in cooperation with General Motors. Some of the stands at the exhibit hold cars signed by the President of the Uzbek Republic. The exhibit consists not only of cars, but also of small details and tools which play essential roles in automobile manufacture, on display throughout this section. The next big stand at the exhibit is the 3D Mapping show, which shows all the beauty of "Spark", a car made in Uzbekistan. The final display at the exhibit is an installation of metallic spheres.[5]

Interactive Practicum

The interactive practicum department is mainly focused on scientific subjects, and allows the visitors to test all the scientific tools by using them. The items in this exhibit could be the same as those in other museums but, as mentioned above, all the items in this section are available for hands on interaction. One of the most popular parts of the department is the "Illusion Room". In this room, visitors pass through a mirror maze, appearing to walk on the ceiling, and grow or shrink in size. As a result, the Tashkent Poly-technical Museum has been remarked as one of the best museums in Uzbekistan.[6]

Kids Land

Kids Land is mainly built for the entertainment of the visitors' children. This area provides an opportunity for the kids to play. Features include a ball pit, climbing features and educational cartoons.[7]

Tashkent Poly-technical Museum is located in Uzbekistan, Tashkent city, Mirabad district, Amir Timur prospect, house 13.[8]
