Tashkent's Alisher Navoi Museum of Literature transferred to the Youth Theatre: the fate of exhibits and research work in question
The building of the State Museum of Literature named after Alisher Navoi in Tashkent has been transferred free of charge to the Uzbek State Youth Theatre under operational management by a Cabinet of Ministers resolution dated 29 September 2026. Construction of a new building for the museum is planned in Yangi Tashkent, but it is not yet ready. Museum staff are concerned about the fate of manuscripts, wall artworks and research activities; part of the collections has already been transferred to the Center of Islamic Civilization, and the rest is planned to be relocated.
