Small but visually rich museum of minerals, rocks and fossils — great for colorful macro shots, textural compositions and architectural detail of a Soviet-era building. Visit weekday mornings to avoid tour groups; museum light is mixed (spotlights and glass cases) so bring a fast lens and check photo/flash policy at the desk. Street parking and nearby public transport available; combine with other central Tashkent sights.
