Academy of Sciences Building on Yahya Gulamov Street
Academy of Sciences Building on Yahya Gulamov Street

The Academy of Sciences building on Yahya Gulamov Street (formerly Gogol) involuntarily draws attention with its facade. It harmoniously combines modern forms and traditional national elements.

It was built in 1928 according to the design of the famous Tashkent architect Georgiy Mikhailovich Svarichevsky. There is information that the building was originally two-story, with the third floor added later. After construction, it housed the Amu Darya Exploration Administration, then the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Uzbek SSR, and later, up to the present day, it accommodates the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan.

Spacious offices host the Academy’s sections, and large and small halls are used for scientists’ meetings. The building has been in service for nearly 100 years and continues to adorn Tashkent throughout this time.
