Caravanserai of Culture

(37A Yusuf Hos Hojib; www.caravanserai. uz; © 09.00-18.00 daily)

Dedicated to the cultures of the Silk Road, this modern caravanserai (decorated, somewhat incongruously, with a miniature pagoda) and the surrounding Garden of Friendship host a succession of exhibitions, a permanent collection of archaeological artefacts and a large library of books on the history, architecture and ethnography of the Silk Road.
