How is the process of properly shaping, systematizing, and preparing the content for production progressing?

🔴 Global harmony in the exhibition of the Center of Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan

🔴 A center of enlightenment taking on a modern form through international experience

The content for the museum exhibition at the Center of Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan is being prepared based on specially developed standards and methodological guidelines. Particular attention is being given to the placement of exhibits, the format of multimedia tools, and visual solutions that ensure user-friendly experiences.

This topic was also analytically reviewed during the latest meeting of the extended scientific council held at the Center. A team led by Annabelle Diot, Director of France’s “Avesto Group”, provided a detailed update on the ongoing work related to the exhibition design of the Center.

As emphasized during the meeting, the creation of the permanent exhibition at the Center involves active and collaborative efforts from interdisciplinary teams including scholars, researchers, designers, and multimedia specialists who are contributing their expertise and capacities to the project.

At the beginning of the meeting, the Head of the Center and Chairman of the Scientific Council, Firdavs Abdukhalikov, highlighted the ongoing rapid preparations for the official opening of the Center, which is being established at the initiative of the President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev.

“The preparations for the opening ceremony of the Center of Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan, being built on the initiative of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, are progressing at a fast pace. Alongside our scholars, researchers, and members of the Scientific Council, leading international companies from France, Italy, Turkey, and Russia are working around the clock on the design of the Center. Our goal is to enrich the museum exhibition in line with the objectives set by our President and transform it into a center of enlightenment that is both scientifically rigorous and modern — a place of knowledge accessible to all segments of society”, said the Director of the Center.

It was noted that to ensure the exhibition resonates with a unified message and spirit, it is essential to harmonize all of its components. From this standpoint, clear criteria have been developed for properly shaping, systematizing, and preparing the content for production.

The core content types forming the foundation of the permanent exhibition include physical artifacts, written sources, multimedia and interactive elements, as well as uniquely significant rare exhibits. All information will be presented in both Uzbek (Latin script) and English.

Content is being prepared based on specially developed standards and methodological guidelines. Particular focus is placed on exhibit placement, multimedia formats, and user-friendly visual solutions.

In collaboration with members of the Scientific Council, special templates and stylistic manuals have been developed for written materials. At every stage, the content undergoes thorough review and editing ensuring that the final output is precise, purposeful, and impactful.

During the most recent meeting, a detailed review was conducted of the materials that must be submitted by the coordinators of the museum exhibition sections to representatives of the French company “Avesto Group”.

It was emphasized that the process has experienced some delays due to the untimely submission of the necessary texts, which are required to be developed and formatted according to established standards. Additionally, it was noted that greater urgency is needed in systematizing multimedia content and aligning it with accurate scientific information.

The Director of the Center issued strict instructions to the section workgroup leaders and coordinators to promptly resolve this situation. Representatives of the company affirmed that, provided the required materials are delivered on time, they are prepared to fully complete their assigned tasks without delay.

The Council meeting also addressed nearly ten other issues, with decisions reached by members of the Council for each item.
