Uzbek art has a long history dating back a millennia. The republican age of antiquity was defined by the blossoming of buildings, monumental paintings, sculptures, and jewellery art. Only a few countries in the world have a more extensive art history than Uzbekistan. Entire cities have been embellished with beautiful mosaic tiles, complex ceiling murals, and towering monuments. Cities such as Khiva, which is often described as a "Living Museum City," or Bukhara's ancient town, which has been so beautifully preserved that it is like stepping into a time capsule, are examples of this. Finally, there is Samarkand, which has grand monuments created by the Timurid Empire, dotted all over the city.
