The Ural Tansykbayev Museum, also known as the House-Museum of Ural Tansykbayev (Xalq rassomi akademik Oral Tansiqboev uy-muzeyi in Uzbeki) is a historic house museum dedicated to the Uzbek artist, Ural Tansykbayev located in Mirzo Ulugbek district in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. It also houses some of his paintings.
The museum was established by Elizaveta Tansykbayeva, the widow of Ural Tansykbayev and was opened on January 16, 1981, as a branch of the Museum of Arts of the Uzbek SSR. Since 2021 the museum has been under the jurisdiction of the Agency of Cultural Heritage at the Ministry of Tourism and Sports.
The main building is the two-storey cottage where the artist lived from 1967-1974 and the garden which he planted. It was expanded in 1994 with a two-story exhibition hall in 1994 – what would have been Tansykbayev’s 90th birthday.
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.
The exhibition hall also houses a storage room to keep the artist’s funds. Between the house and the hall there is a small garden with the trees, planted by Ural Tansykbaev himself. The total area of the house museum is 377 square meters and the number of exhibits is over 4,000, including 400 paintings.
