Learning About Animals And Food At The Abdullakhan Madrasah In Khiva

You never know what you might find inside one of the historic structures in Khiva. Will the madrasa look like a school? Will the mosque still be used for prayer? The Abdullakhan Madrasah in the Itchan Kala section of old Khiva is a little museum, dedicated to fun examples of typical living and growing things. A fun visit for kids and fans.

One of the galleries, cases full of good stuff.

Photographed carefully, objects turned into Old Master still lifes. Dried fish and fake melon.

Waxy grapes.

Curious weasel and classic fruit plate.

Looking an animal in the eye. Or the other way around.
