This is a unique museum for Uzbekistan, and also one of the newest - its opening took place in November 2015. Its exposition can be divided into two parts: the automotive industry and the natural sciences.[2]

One display is devoted to the automobile industry in the late 1950s and an exhibition on the development of agricultural machinery that recounts the history of agricultural development in Uzbekistan in chronological order, from simple agricultural tools to large machinery, such as tractors. Some of the other displays include Ford Zone (1924), Universal (1934), Axos-34, GAZ-13 and Moskvich-400.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
