Do not miss the Igor Savitzky Art Gallery [1] with the unique collection of many thousand works by dissenting artists from the Soviet Union during the period in which Stalinist socialist realism was the only permitted form of Soviet art. Many travelers believe this is the only compelling reason to visit Nukus. Nearby is the Museum of Applied Arts showing local fabrics, traditional clothing and jewelry. The Karakalpak State Museum exhibits examples of natural history, including the very last Turan Tiger, caught in 1972.

Jipek Jolly Hotel - US$15 single room, $20 double room. It quite nice and clean. Shower and toilet is for two rooms. Shower is not that good, but as long as you have hot water its ok. The water there is often just turned off. Note: the prices in dollars are higher than prices in Uzbek sums. And they will want you to pay in dollars, not in sums. The Nukus Hotel charges about $15 for a bed in a triple room - for privacy, book all three. Aircon is consistently "just being repaired", water supply is uncertain, and in any case it is preferable to use bottled mineral water even to brush your teeth.
