 Hey everyone 👋. We last traveled around Bukhara. Our today's destination was Blacksmith Museum. It was so uncomparable place among the places that I have ever been before. We went there with our group and our teacher. 😇😊

This place have an attractive and unique entrance actually 👌 😍.  One of the main activities of the Bukhara museum-preserve is to revive and support traditional Bukharan handicraft.

In 1992, the blacksmiths' museum-workshop, the only one of its type in Uzbekistan, was set up in the 16th - century Kulyuta karavansarai.

The museum-workshop is a living museum. Not only could one learn there the history of the ancient blacksmith's craft, but also participate in making blacksmith products.

Usto Shokir Kamolov, who comes of a family of blacksmiths, is the senior researcher of the museum.

Archeologists have recorded many items in Bukhoro which confirm the ancient origins of this craft in this timeless old city.

Abu Raihon Biruni wrote in the 10th century, that Bukharan master smiths worked with four kinds of metals. The development of the smithing craft affected growth of agriculture and many other industries in the region.By the end of the 19th century, according to master smith Sharif Kamalov calculation, there were over 150 smiths in Bukhoro producing a variety of goods.

Thank you for your attention guys take care see yaa 😘 💗
