Nukus, the capital of Karakalpakstan, is not an obvious place for a holiday. It is a quiet city in the far west of Uzbekistan, surrounded by desert, and it takes about twenty hours by train from Tashkent or ninety minutes by plane. But every year, thousands of visitors from around the world make the journey for one reason: the Savitsky Museum. After visiting last month, I can honestly say it was worth every kilometre.
Qoraqalpog‘iston poytaxti Nukus ta’til uchun odatiy joy emas. U O‘zbekistonning uzoq g‘arbidagi cho‘l bilan o‘ralgan sokin shahar bo‘lib, Toshkentdan poyezdda taxminan yigirma soat yoki samolyotda to‘qson daqiqa yo‘l. Lekin har yili dunyoning turli burchaklaridan minglab tashrif buyuruvchilar bitta sabab bilan bu yo‘lni bosib o‘tishadi: Savitskiy muzeyi. O‘tgan oy tashrif buyurganimdan keyin rostini aytsam, bu har bir kilometrga arzirdi.
The museum’s story is almost as interesting as its collection. Igor Savitsky was a Russian painter and archaeologist who came to Karakalpakstan in the 1950s on an archaeological expedition. He fell in love with the region and stayed. He began collecting local jewellery, carpets and traditional clothes, and in 1966 he opened the museum.
Muzeyning tarixi uning kolleksiyasi kabi qiziqarli. Igor Savitskiy 1950-yillarda arxeologik ekspeditsiya bilan Qoraqalpog‘istonga kelgan rus rassomi va arxeologi edi. U bu o‘lkani sevib qoldi va shu yerda qoldi. U mahalliy zargarlik buyumlari, gilamlar va an’anaviy kiyimlarni yig‘a boshladi va 1966-yilda muzeyni ochdi.
But Savitsky’s most famous achievement was something much more dangerous. During the Soviet period, artists were expected to paint in an official style, showing happy workers and strong leaders. Many artists who painted differently were punished, and their work was hidden or destroyed. Savitsky secretly collected thousands of these forbidden paintings from artists’ families in Moscow and elsewhere and brought them to Nukus, far from the authorities, where nobody thought to look.
Lekin Savitskiyning eng mashhur yutug‘i ancha xavfliroq narsa edi. Sovet davrida rassomlardan baxtli ishchilar va kuchli rahbarlarni tasvirlaydigan rasmiy uslubda chizish kutilardi. Boshqacha chizgan ko‘plab rassomlar jazolangan, ularning asarlari yashirilgan yoki yo‘q qilingan. Savitskiy Moskva va boshqa joylardagi rassomlarning oilalaridan minglab shunday taqiqlangan rasmlarni yashirincha yig‘ib, ularni hokimiyatdan uzoqda, hech kim qidirib ko‘rishni xayoliga ham keltirmagan Nukusga olib kelgan.
Today, the museum has more than ninety thousand objects, and it is often described as one of the most important collections of Russian avant-garde art in the world. Only a small part of the collection is shown at any one time. The paintings are bold and colourful, and many of them show scenes from Central Asian life: markets, camels, women in traditional dress and the desert landscape. My personal favourite was a large painting called “Bull” by Vasily Lysenko, which is so powerful that I stood in front of it for nearly twenty minutes.
Bugun muzeyda to‘qson mingdan ortiq buyum bor va u ko‘pincha dunyodagi rus avangard san’atining eng muhim kolleksiyalaridan biri sifatida ta’riflanadi. Bir vaqtning o‘zida kolleksiyaning faqat kichik qismi namoyish etiladi. Rasmlar dadil va rang-barang, ularning ko‘pchiligida Markaziy Osiyo hayotidan sahnalar tasvirlangan: bozorlar, tuyalar, milliy liboslardagi ayollar va cho‘l manzarasi. Mening shaxsiy sevimlim Vasiliy Lisenkoning “Buqa” deb nomlangan katta rasmi bo‘ldi, u shunchalik kuchliki, uning oldida qariyb yigirma daqiqa turib qoldim.
The ground floor displays archaeological finds from the ancient kingdom of Khorezm, as well as Karakalpak jewellery and textiles. Don’t rush through this part. The silver jewellery, decorated with red stones, is beautiful, and the information explains how each piece was worn and what it meant. There are signs in Karakalpak, Russian and English, although some of the English translations are a little short.
Birinchi qavatda qadimiy Xorazm podsholigidan topilgan arxeologik topilmalar, shuningdek, qoraqalpoq zargarlik buyumlari va to‘qimachilik mahsulotlari namoyish etiladi. Bu qismdan shoshib o‘tib ketmang. Qizil toshlar bilan bezatilgan kumush zargarlik buyumlari chiroyli va ma’lumotlarda har bir buyum qanday taqilgani va nimani anglatgani tushuntiriladi. Yozuvlar qoraqalpoq, rus va ingliz tillarida, garchi ba’zi inglizcha tarjimalar biroz qisqa bo‘lsa-da.
There are a few practical things to know. The museum is closed on Mondays. Photography is allowed, but you have to buy a separate photo ticket. I strongly recommend booking a guided tour in advance; my guide, a young art student, brought the paintings to life with stories about the artists, many of whom lived tragic lives. Allow at least three hours. The museum has a small cafe, but the choice of food is limited.
Bilish kerak bo‘lgan bir nechta amaliy narsalar bor. Muzey dushanba kunlari yopiq. Suratga olishga ruxsat beriladi, lekin alohida foto chipta sotib olishingiz kerak. Oldindan ekskursiya buyurtma qilishni qat’iy tavsiya qilaman; mening gidim, yosh san’at talabasi, rassomlar haqidagi hikoyalar bilan rasmlarga jon kiritdi, ularning ko‘pchiligi fojiali hayot kechirgan. Kamida uch soat ajrating. Muzeyda kichik kafe bor, lekin ovqat tanlovi cheklangan.
Overall, the Savitsky Museum is one of the most moving and surprising places I have ever visited. It is not only a museum of art, but also a story about the courage of one man who risked everything to save the work of others. If you have any interest in art or history, go. Five stars.
Umuman olganda, Savitskiy muzeyi men tashrif buyurgan eng ta’sirli va hayratlanarli joylardan biri. Bu nafaqat san’at muzeyi, balki boshqalarning ijodini saqlab qolish uchun hamma narsasini xavf ostiga qo‘ygan bir insonning jasorati haqidagi hikoya ham. Agar san’at yoki tarixga ozgina bo‘lsa ham qiziqishingiz bo‘lsa, boring. Besh yulduz.
