Museums serve as important scientific, cultural, and educational institutions that preserve the priceless heritage passed down by our ancestors and deliver it to future generations. They are primarily concerned with collecting, safeguarding, and promoting historical documents, cultural artifacts, and spiritual values.

It should also be noted that museums serve as more than simply display centers for historical treasures, they are also places where people are able to connect with the past, inspire respect for the legacy of ancestors, and strengthen their feelings of patriotism and devotion to their country.

As one of the country's most important spiritual and educational centers that attracts the interest of visitors, especially young people, the Museum of the History of Internal Affairs Bodies has a history that extends back nearly half a century.

It is a unique opportunity for visitors to gain a deeper understanding of the history and development of the internal affairs system, the large-scale efforts carried out in order to maintain public safety and peace, as well as the exemplary service provided by dedicated employees who faithfully fulfilled their duties. Exhibits and historical materials provide visitors with a better understanding of the importance of peace, stability, and public safety.

Today, the museum has become one of the most popular educational destinations for residents and young people alike. As of the beginning of the year, the museum has hosted 1,875 visitors, including members of foreign delegations, employees of internal affairs agencies, cadets, students, pupils, and other citizens. During this period, museum staff organized 91 guided excursions, and information about these visits has been widely covered through the official information resources of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, regional departments, educational institutions, the “Postda-Na postu” newspaper, and social media platforms.

Additionally, the museum serves an important role in fostering interest among young people in serving the Motherland by preserving unique historical exhibits related to the activities of internal affairs bodies. The museum promotes respect for the honorable profession of law enforcement through its exhibits and educational programs, and encourages patriotic, talented, and ambitious young people to join the force.

Since March of this year, effective cooperation has also been established with the Ministries of Higher Education, Science and Innovation, as well as Preschool and School Education, to organize systematic visits for students of educational institutions. As a result, 727 students from 18 state and non-state higher educational institutions have already visited the museum and participated in 24 guided excursions in a short period of time.

During the excursions, visitors receive detailed information about the history of internal affairs bodies, their role in ensuring national security and combating crime, and the exemplary life paths of devoted employees, as well as the wide-ranging reforms that have been implemented in the system over the past few years.

In addition, the museum administration has expressed readiness to work closely with educational institutions in order to organize interactive roundtables, educational meetings, and awareness events with the participation of responsible representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. These initiatives are aimed at strengthening legal culture among youth, promoting respect for the law, and preventing crime.

Certainly, these educational and spiritual activities play a significant role in instilling a sense of patriotism in the younger generation, as well as increasing their awareness of legal issues and civic responsibilities, and strengthening their sense of social immunity.

The Museum of History of Internal Affairs Bodies is located within the "JAR" Sports and Recreation Complex of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on Beruniy Shoh Street in the Shaykhontohur district. The museum is open to visitors from Monday to Saturday, from 9 am to 6 pm. Admission is free.
