Rolls-Royce representatives, a world-renowned automotive brand, were impressed by the Islamic Civilization Center
A representative of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars who visited the Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan stated that he had never seen a museum like this anywhere before and that the visit provided him with significant experience and knowledge.
During the visit, a delegation of representatives from Rolls-Royce Motor Cars closely explored the exhibitions created at the Center, highly appreciating their conceptual structure, broad historical scope, and rich spiritual atmosphere.
The delegation’s tour of the Center began with the monumental mosaic compositions in the Hall of Honor, which vividly reflect the immense contribution of our great ancestors to the development of world science and culture. The harmony of colors and artistic expression of the mosaic panels sparked great interest among the guests, while the overall atmosphere of the hall clearly demonstrated the richness and scale of the civilization that emerged on the land of Uzbekistan.
The delegation then became acquainted with the “Pre-Islamic Period” exhibitions of the Center’s museum. This section features ancient civilizations, early urban culture, models based on archaeological findings, and visual materials depicting historical landscapes. In particular, the meticulously detailed models of sacred sites and ancient settlements attracted the guests’ attention.
In the sections dedicated to the First and Second Renaissance, the lives and scholarly heritage of great thinkers such as Imam Bukhari, Imam Tirmidhi, Ibn Sina, and Beruni are presented in a consistent manner, along with their manuscripts, discoveries, and contributions to the development of world science. The integrated presentation of science, medicine, astronomy, and philosophy made it possible to perceive historical processes as a coherent whole.
The Holy Qur’an Hall left a particularly deep impression on the members of the delegation. According to the representatives, the spaciousness of the hall housing the rare Qur’an manuscript, the harmony of light and colors, and its spiritual atmosphere have made it one of the most impressive sections of the Center.
Paul Sutherland, a representative of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, said:
“The exterior of the building and its interior spaces are both very impressive. The hall where the Holy Qur’an is displayed is especially remarkable. When you enter, you truly feel even more deeply how grand this complex is.”
Another company representative, Richard Wynn, noted:
“This is a truly unique center. Its scale genuinely amazed me. The space, colors, and atmosphere of the Holy Qur’an Hall are especially beautiful. I have never seen a museum like this anywhere before. This was a great experience and source of knowledge for me.”
During the visit, the guests carefully examined the models of sacred sites, copies of historical manuscripts, and multimedia materials displayed in each section, receiving detailed answers to their questions.
In the guests’ view, the Islamic Civilization Center stands out internationally as a significant scientific and educational institution thanks to its rich content, broad historical coverage, and profound spiritual environment.
The delegation also visited the “New Uzbekistan — the Foundation of the New Renaissance” section, where the country’s modern stage of development, future-oriented goals, and educational priorities are presented and were positively evaluated by the guests.
