UVAYSIY HOUSE-MUSEUM

Uvaysiy, whose real name was Jahon Otin, was a woman of letters and poetess born in Marguilan at the end of the 18th century. Her talent, noticed by the wife of the Khan of Kokand, earned her lodging in the palace where she taught letters to the Khan's daughters. It was only after the death of the khan that Uvaysiy was able to return to Marguilan, where she ended her days writing poetry. The reconstructed house-museum houses a few books and photos. The only witness of the period is a mulberry tree, several centuries old, standing between the entrance and the iwan on the façade.
