Beyond the epic Savitsky art museum, Nukus has a few other worthy attractions. The local history museum contains some fun, interesting stuff. Time for a peek.
A giant yurt and cart in the lobby, we must be in the right place for some Central Asian artifacts.
You gotta have a little love for king cotton, the economic engine of the area. Bling bling. Cool Soviet era wall phone.
A highlight of the museum is a nice collection of old textiles. Colorful robes, iconic ikat designs.
A couple of details of the rich, intricate and unique fabrics on display.
Putting the breast in breastplate. Does the woman warrior Tumaris even need that sword?
