Exhibits not found in any museum will be featured in the mega-project exhibition in Uzbekistan

Are you interested in the history of Tashkent? Now you can see the reality of today’s capital from the Bronze Age to the early Middle Ages all in one place. The museum of the Center of Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan is being enriched with new discoveries and maps.

Today, a discussion was held regarding the museum exhibition of the Center of Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan. The meeting, dedicated to the section on pre-Islamic civilizations, was attended by a group led by Doctor of Historical Sciences Jannat Ismoilova, as well as the center’s staff, relevant organizations, and project authors.

To ensure that the content of Uzbekistan’s mega-project museum is organized in a rich and logically coherent manner, scholars, historians, and experts prepared maps based on scientific analysis. These include depictions of monuments from the Bronze and Early Iron Ages of Chach, their placement in the landscape, as well as objects and data related to the “Burgulik culture”. The maps also reflect sites from antiquity associated with the Qovunchi culture cities and villages as well as cemeteries, burial customs, and ossuaries from the early Middle Ages.

“Today we are working on a major project dedicated to the Tashkent oasis and the ancient history of Chach. Much work has been accomplished in this direction. We organized archaeological expeditions and conducted excavations. On this basis, the unique artifacts discovered were collected and prepared for presentation to the museum. These artifacts have not previously been found in existing museums, meaning they are new discoveries. They were obtained from the people as well as identified during archaeological research. What matters most to us is not only the scientific value of these artifacts, but also the opportunity they provide to bring historical reality closer to the viewer and to bring it to life. This is one of the most responsible and proud aspects of our work,” said Doctor of Philosophy in History, Associate Professor Dilmurod Normurodov.

To ensure that the museum exhibition is clear and engaging for visitors, short, scientifically grounded texts have been prepared for each object. This not only provides information about the exhibits but also helps create a holistic impression of historical reality for the audience.

At the meeting, it was also announced that a number of large projects have been prepared, including materials on Ancient Bactria, a media project on Mount Mug, a 3D modeling of Topraq Qala, and exhibitions on the ancient written sources of Khorezm. Related video clips have also been produced and submitted to film studios through a competitive process.
