One of the main places of interest in Nukus is the Museum of Art named after I.V. Savitsky, which contains more than 50 000 paintings and other works of art, banned during the Soviet period. Thanks to the efforts of Moscow artist Igor Vitalievich Savitsky the Russian Avant-garde and Post Avant-garde heritage was saved from total destruction by the Soviet power. Only in 1991, when Uzbekistan obtained its independence, the Nukus Museum of Art named after I.V. Savitsky gained its real recognition and popularity. And today everyone who wishes can get acquainted with the unknown art of the 20th century.
Nukus is the capital of the Republic of Karakalpakstan. Nukus is located in the north of Uzbekistan near the Aral Sea, surrounded by three deserts - the Kara Kum, Kyzyl Kum and Ustyurt. In 2012 Nukus celebrated the 80th anniversary. It is very young, in comparison with thousand-year history of other cities in Uzbekistan, but in spite of this the land, on which the city is located, has an ancient cultural stratum, which according to archaeology researches belongs to the 4th century BC - 4th century AD.
