Very much an exercise in kitsch and in cult-making, the Amir Timur Museum is filled with murals showing Uzbekistan's most famous conqueror, Tamerlane, doing rather charitable things like constructing monuments and praising his citizens. Not included in the exhibit are murals showing his bloody conquests of much of Asia. It's open Tuesday-Sunday, from 10:00 am to 5:00pm.
