At the same time, nearly 350 artifacts related to Uzbekistan and currently held in foreign museums were reviewed, and the process of selecting them has begun.

In his speech, the head of the Center, Firdavs Abdukhalikov, emphasized:

— On the initiative of our esteemed President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, efforts are underway to enrich the exhibition of this Center by bringing artifacts related to our country from foreign museums and libraries. A number of these artifacts will be ready for the Center’s opening ceremony. Additionally, museums across the republic are expected to present 20 of their most unique exhibits.

At the meeting, Anvar Matniyazov, the coordinator of the “Pre-Islamic Period” exhibition, gave an update on the ongoing work:

— This exhibition will be accessed through a time wall. It consists of six sectors, beginning with Bactria. Work is being carried out in cooperation with Turkish designers. Agreements have been reached regarding models, facsimiles, and manuscripts. Furthermore, measurements of 60 historical fortresses in our country have been collected and systematized.

Artworks, sculptures, coins, and household items related to the ancient civilizations of Khorezm, Sogd, and Chach are planned to be displayed in the international exhibition.

The “Time Wall” composition also features Eastern miniatures. This composition illustrates political and social events from different eras through artistic imagery:

Pre-Islamic civilizations are presented in bas-relief style,

The First Renaissance is depicted in a majestic painting style,

The Second Renaissance is portrayed in the style of the founders of the miniature school such as Kamoliddin Behzod, Mahmud Muzahhib, and Muhammad Murad Samarqandi.

A creative team led by People’s Artist of Uzbekistan Bahodir Jalolov is actively working in this direction.

At the end of the meeting, video clips prepared by the Uzbekistan Cinematography Agency, dedicated to the lives and legacy of scholars, were presented. Members of the Scientific Council emphasized that these video materials must meet contemporary standards both in terms of content and visual quality.
