list of house museums below.
Hidden in the center of Tashkent, not far
from a vibrant road behind residential houses and business centers, there is a
museum, dedicated to one of the outstanding women of Uzbekistan – Tamara
Khanum. The house museum, found in the street named after this great singer and
dancer, is the place, where she spent the last years of her life.
Tamara Khanum was born in 1906 in Fergana
Valley. Her real family name is Petrosyan, she is an Armenian by origin. All
her biography is steeped in love of stage, where she first appeared at the age
of 13. She graduated from Moscow theater school in 1925, and around at the same
time, she began her active concert activity: she appeared in Paris and other
European cities, and contributed much to opening of musical-drama theaters in
different Uzbek cities, kept correspondence with world’s art workers.
At the age of 30, Tamara Khanum became a
soloist of the Uzbek Philharmonic and was actively engaged in the reform of
Uzbek national dance. However, the world-wide fame came to her due to her
collecting of dance and song folklore of different nations. She could learn a
folk song and dance from any country for a few days, and then perform them as
though she came from there. Thanks to her concerts in different countries she
had her own collection of national dresses, included today into the Tamara
Khanum museum exposition. There you can see Slavonic dresses, Chinese and other
Asian costumes and even an Egyptian dress.
In one of the residential areas of
Tashkent, among apartment buildings, there stands a small house with the gates
adorned with a memorial plaque stating that there lived and worked an
outstanding artist of Uzbekistan – Ural Tansykbaev. This house museum was
opened in 1981, seven years after the master’s death; its founder and first
director was Tansykbaev’s wife – Elizaveta Yakovlevna.
Ural Tansykbaev was one of the most famous
artists of the USSR, who depicted the life of Uzbekistan in the mid-XX century.
When he was a common worker in his youth, he was absorbing all the images
associated with the homeland to transform them later into hundreds of
paintings, which depicted the life of the Uzbek people and beautiful nature of
his native land. To date, his paintings are displayed at the State Tretyakov
Gallery, the Moscow State Museum of East, and the museums of Uzbekistan as
well.
The centerpiece of Ural Tansykbaev House
Museum is his studio, where everything has remained in the same state as it
used to be in 1974, and even the easel still keeps his unfinished painting
“Charvak in 1973”. In addition to the studio, the house includes a living room,
where the artist received visitors, a bedroom, and also a private office.
Everything in this house is left on its place as it was during the artist’s
life. Also, in 1994, timed to the Tansykbaev’s 90-th anniversary, a two-storey
exhibition hall adjacent to the house museum was built on to demonstrate large
canvases and the paintings that were not displayed in his house.
