The monument with the small park around is well-kept and looks beautiful. The museum is small but nice, with 2 turquoise blue domes. The memorial and the museum "In Memory of the Victims of Repression" applies to the years under Soviet reign until Uzbekistan became independent. Mainly the time under the Bolsheviks, from 1917, and under Stalin. Authoritarian power through politics, the police, the public prosecutor's office and the judiciary - not only towards individuals. The place is nice and tells of history and the understanding of suffering under Soviet reign. Historically relevant, tragic and sad. Definitely a must if you want to get to know the history of Uzbekistan. Also nice for a cozy little walk there, really a nice monument and little park around. The monument can be viewed in combination with the city tour by bus. There is a short stop of around 15 minutes. Or else, if you want to visit the museum, you can take the bus or the metro (Shahristan St). I prefer the taxi.

This is where the ancient settlement was in the 7th to 2nd century BC and where people resettled after Samarkand was destroyed by Gengis Khan. The museum displays some of the archaeological findings from this site which had a fortress, city and outskirts.

This museum is a short walk from the Train Station. This was the last attraction that we visited on our day tip to Termez, and it was a great experience. The two story building has the main exhibits on the 2nd floor, but also an interesting section on the 1st floor. The exhibits on the first floor were from many eras but focused on some of the more important archaeological discoveries in the region. Of particular interest here is the bath tub exhibit and the pottery. There was a special exhibit dedicated to Japanese archaeologist, Kyudzo Kato, who died in 2016. He is known for his work at the Fayaz tepa and Kara tepa sites. In this area, was a copy of the famous Buddha sculpture with monks on either side, and corinthian columns. This sculpture was found at Fayaz tepa. A model of the Fayaz Tepa site was also in this section. The upstairs exhibits were divided into nine halls. These halls traced the history of the region through the stone age to the 20th century. The exhibits were well organised, and most had English translations. We were impressed with the Macedonian era exhibits, which included a bust of Alexander the Great. The Kushan and Sassanid periods were also well covered. We thought the displays of Greek influenced sculptures and other items was well presented. A few exhibits were related to Indian culture, and the importance of Termez on the Silk Road, including a map showing the caravan routes. A great exhibit here were ancient clay urns for holding mercury, which indicated how far advanced medicine was in this area. There is a special section dedicated to Amir Timur, who re-developed the city after it had been destroyed by the Mongols in 1220. We found the 16th-20th century exhibits, of Russian samovars, urns and lamps to be very good. After viewing the upstairs exhibits, we returned downstairs and were allowed to view the special exhibit room, which has to be requested. This was the best area of the museum, as there were ancient coins and beautiful jewelry on display. A few old bank notes, daggers and bayonets were also good displays. We were glad to have visited the museum, as it gave us a better appreciation for the Fayaz Tepa, Kara Tepa and "old city" sites which we had visited during the day. An additional camera fee is required on entry but it is worth it. We thought this was an excellent museum. After visiting the museum, walk to the Central Park directly opposite, where the monument to Alpamysh and the Weeping Mother can be viewed.
