Afrasiyab Museum preserves the archaeological remains and vivid Timurid-era wall paintings of ancient Samarkand. Photograph colorful fresco fragments, glass cases with artifacts, and the site’s raised earthen mounds. Visit early morning or late afternoon for softer indoor and courtyard light; weekdays avoid tour groups. Small entry fee; modest security checks. Limited on-site parking — use nearby public lots or taxi. Respect signage and no-flash rules for fragile murals.
