The story

Origins and historical context

Chorsu occupies a long-standing commercial district near Tashkent’s old city. Markets here changed form repeatedly as the capital expanded.

Architecture, collections or landscape

The present blue-domed hall is a late-Soviet structure organised around broad internal tiers, with food and household trade extending into surrounding lanes.

How to experience it

This is a working market. Keep passages clear, ask before photographing people and explore beyond the central dome.
