The Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan hosted another prestigious international visit. A delegation led by Yersaiyn Nagaspayev, Minister of Industry and Construction of the Republic of Kazakhstan, became closely acquainted with the Center’s activities and exhibitions.

Upon visiting the Center, the guests first explored its grand architecture and content-rich exhibitions, emphasizing that history, science, and modern technologies are presented here in a harmonious way. It was noted that the rich heritage gathered under the 65-meter dome leaves a profound impression on every visitor.

In the pre-Islamic period exhibitions, the delegation’s attention was drawn to how the history of ancient civilizations, early statehood, and cultural processes are consistently presented through modern approaches. In particular, archaeological findings, scenes reflecting ancient lifestyles, and interactive maps created a feeling of “traveling back in time” for the guests.

In the First Renaissance section, the exhibitions dedicated to the rise of science and enlightenment generated particular interest among the delegation. It was emphasized that the information about great scholars, their discoveries, and their contributions to world civilization clearly demonstrates the high level of the Central Asian scientific school.

In the Second Renaissance section — dedicated to the Timurid era — the development of statehood, science, and culture was presented in a distinctive way that impressed the visitors. Especially, information about construction, court life, and diplomatic relations during the time of Amir Timur was received with great interest by the delegation members.

In the “New Uzbekistan — the Foundation of a New Renaissance” section, the presentation of current reforms, strategic development directions, and future concepts in a modern format left a positive impression on the guests. They assessed this section not only as a continuation of history but also as an idea-driven space oriented toward the future.

During the visit, Yersaiyn Nagaspayev, Minister of Industry and Construction of the Republic of Kazakhstan, shared his impressions of the Center:

“This Center is an important educational and scientific space not only for Uzbekistan but for the entire region. I was greatly impressed by how deeply and with modern approaches history is presented here. The harmony of scientific accuracy and visual solutions in the exhibitions deserves special attention.”

During the visit, the delegation also explored the Qur’an Hall, considered the heart of the Center. Here, a rare 7th-century manuscript — the Uthman Mushaf — as well as a modern mapping hologram presentation, left a deep emotional impression on the guests. They emphasized that this hall holds a special place not only in terms of architecture but also for its spiritual atmosphere.

At the conclusion of the visit, the delegation noted that the work carried out at the Center is organized at a high level, with each exhibition reflecting a deep scientific approach combined with modern presentation methods. It was also emphasized that this place serves as an important educational platform not only for Uzbekistan but for the entire region and the global community.
