The Termiz Archaeological Museum is reason enough to visit Termiz. Unveiled in 2001, the museum is a treasure trove of artefacts collected from the many ravaged civilisations that pepper the Surkhandarya province of which Termiz is the main city. The highlight would have to be the collection of 3rd- to 4th-century Buddhist artefacts. The museum also has an excellent model of Surkhandarya that depicts the area’s most important archaeological sights. Serious archaeological buffs can use this map to plot their course to a wealth of caves, petroglyphs and excavations in the north of Surkhandarya province.
