Here you can see a picture with the image of Mirzo Ulugbek and his companions on the left side of the foyer. There is also a picture where Mirzo Ulugbek and his students Ali Kushchi and Mirim Chalabiy are depicted.

  The museum exhibition includes samples of manuscripts about science, personal photos of the great scientist as well as jade jar with the name of the scientist. There are also examples of coordinate’s calculations of the five planets and the length of the solar year.

  The museum exposition consists of two parts: the first shows the period of reign and his activities as the head of the state, in the second one he is represented as the scientist. Each part is divided into two sections.
