Quran Museum

The Quran Museum is the first private museum in Uzbekistan dedicated to one of the greatest sacred treasures of humanity.
Its collection includes about 40 original and copied handwritten Qurans, some of which are 350–400 years old.
The oldest manuscript in the museum is about 500 years old: it contains two parts of the Quran and was brought from Pakistan.

One of the museum’s greatest treasures is a fragment of the Kiswah, the cloth that annually covers the Kaaba in Mecca.
The exhibited fragment was used in 2019 and was brought from Saudi Arabia.
The Kiswah is made of pure silk and decorated with gold and silver threads. It features an embroidery of verse 96 from Surah Al-Imran. This is the only exhibit of its kind in Uzbekistan.

Among the unique artifacts are also books published in limited numbers during the Ottoman Empire, including a Quran once used by Sultan Abdul Hamid.
Another rare exhibit is a miniature Quran, which soldiers carried with them during wars as a talisman and amulet.

The Quran Museum is not just a collection of ancient manuscripts but a living history of spirituality and culture, offering visitors the opportunity to touch the sacred heritage of the Muslim world.
