Ministry of Internal Affairs Palace of Culture

The Seamstresses’ Palace of Culture from the “Red Dawn” sewing factory was built in 1936 according to the design of architect V. Skornyakov in the traditions of the classical style.

Many generations of Tashkent residents attended performances by actors (including those evacuated during World War II), watched films, visited New Year trees, and later brought their children and grandchildren to the same New Year celebrations here.

In the 1970s–1980s, the palace was named after Indira Gandhi.

In the years of independence, the building has housed the Palace of Culture of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
