Great Architecture At The Applied Arts Museum

Why stop at the artwork collection? The Applied Arts Museum in Tashkent is partly housed in an old, rich merchant house, which has been wonderfully preserved. The house looks like suzani embroidery come to life.

Outside facade. A broad hint of more embellishment to come.

Wow. Seriously? The hardwood floor is the only surface not heavily touched by craftsmen. One of the wall details, looking a bit like that annoying game, Operation.

Another room, super trippy.

Details. All the raised decorative work is hand painted.

The intricate painting of gold trim on a wood column on the front porch.
