There's a nice mash-up of a museum in Tashkent, dedicated to healthcare, medicine, history, teaching, propaganda, Soviet socialist art. Something for everyone.
A time capsule. The place was founded in 1973 by a Moscow professor. Since then, no renovations. Yay!
Some way back history, a room dedicated to what healthcare looked like during the 1800s. Wander to the bazaar and find a doctor. A diorama that shows a little incense healing. Not sure a pleasant waft is going to be the cure.
The highlight of the museum space, the painted doors to each gallery. The illustrations look like stained glass and each set features a different Soviet, Uzbek archetype.
Moments immortalized of medical triumph during The Great Patriotic War, known as WWII in the West.
Another diorama, this one featuring a snazzy, new (at the time) facility, Uzbekistan Hospital. Alas, it's located in Russia. It's the thought that counts.
