Alisher Navoi is one of the most famous figures in Uzbekistan, a Silk Road era poet, author, linguist, politician, mystic and gardener. OK, not sure about his gardening prowess. Seems possible.
Tashkent has a nice museum with a literature theme, most of it devoted to Navoi. Big props to the gentleman known as the father of Turkic literature. The museum is rooms and rooms with cases of books - about what one would expect in a place devoted to literature. What else to display?
Portraits of the esteemed Alisher Navoi. A lot of them. Here's a small selection, every pose, age imaginable.
