Aaron Akinyemi, BBC journalist and producer (London):
“To be honest, the Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan made an extraordinary impression on me. The building’s majestic architecture makes a powerful impression on anyone. Once inside, the exquisite mosaics on the walls, the harmony of colors and the historical meaning they convey make this impression even stronger.
I was especially drawn to how Uzbekistan’s history is presented through engaging, interactive formats. It makes exploring the past both accessible and compelling. The projection-mapping show in the “Holy Quran Hall” also made a great impression on me. In addition, the way the history of the ancient Great Silk Road is presented through modern approaches, as well as the distinctive presentation of the exhibitions in the various halls, was extremely interesting.
In my opinion, this Center represents an invaluable contribution to the shared cultural heritage of humanity. Thanks to its position on the ancient Great Silk Road, Uzbekistan has played a pivotal role in world history. The Center reflects this historical significance very successfully. In this respect, I believe its mission carries profound international significance.” said Aaron Akinyemi.
