Museum of Olympic Glory
Museum of Olympic Glory

The “Friendship of Peoples” museum building was constructed in 1976 to mark the tenth anniversary of the Tashkent earthquake and formed a single complex together with the “Courage” monument. Its collections contained over 15,000 exhibits dedicated to the restoration of Tashkent by the Soviet republics.

Architects of the complex and the building: L. Adamov, S. Adylov, V. Ganiyev, Farkhad Tursunov, R. Yusupov, and D. Ryabichev.

The cylinder-shaped structure, erected on a hill and decorated with stylised national ornament, appears to float above the first floor.

In 1996, on the fifth anniversary of Uzbekistan’s independence, the Museum of Olympic Glory was opened in this building. It currently displays 2,088 exhibits.

In 2024, Valeriy Ganiyev, one of the architects of the “Courage” complex, proposed returning the Friendship of Peoples Museum to this building and relocating the Museum of Olympic Glory to another venue.
