Hidden behind a small door on a side street, the Gurminj Museum of Musical Instruments showcases the rich musical heritage of Tajikistan and Pamir. The impressive collection of instruments belonged to actor Gurminj Zafkibekov (1929–2003), who rose to fame in Soviet cinema in the 1970s. His son and the Pamiri music group Samo have since made this collection available to the public.
