State Defense Museum showcases Uzbekistan's military history with grand indoor halls, uniforms, medals and a striking outdoor park of tanks, artillery and aircraft — excellent for documentary and detail shots. Visit weekday mornings or late afternoons for softer light and smaller crowds; interiors have mixed lighting so bring a fast lens and high-ISO capability. Small parking is available on-site; carry ID for ticket purchase. Respect memorials and any signage restricting tripods or flash.
