The State Museum of History of Uzbekistan (Uzbek: Oʻzbekiston tarixi davlat muzeyi; Russian: Государственный музей истории Узбекистана, Gosudarstvennyj muzej historii Uzbekistana), previously known as the National Museum of Turkestan, was founded in 1876.

The highlight of the museum is a very well preserved alabaster Buddha relief found from Fayaz Tepe in Termez.

[2] There are numerous fragmentary remains of Buddha heads and decorative motifs found from different sites around Termez.

The Muslim section of the museum has a collection of calligraphy and regal edicts from the Tamerlane dynasty to the last emirs of Bukhara.

The collection covers the archaeology, history, numismatics, and ethnography of Uzbekistan.
