The Fitzwilliam Museum of Cambridge University possesses one of the best collections of Islamic art in the UK. Part of this collection is directly related to the cultural heritage of Uzbekistan. These are examples of numismatics, in particular, coins minted by various dynasties in Bukhara and Samarkand, antique jewelry reflecting the spirit of Hellenistic culture which, quite possibly, was popular in ancient Bactria, a Buddhist sculpture from Gandhara, which was formerly a part of the Kushan Kingdom, a significant collection of medieval manuscripts, fine examples of white-blue Temurid ceramics – tableware and elements of architectural decor, as well as textiles – two unique and very large embroidered tapestries from a Bukharan palace and one chapan robe. Of particular interest is the history of the Fitzwilliam murakka album – a collection of miniatures of mixed origin ordered probably by either the famous Baburid emperor Akbar or his mother Hamida Banu Begum.
