Do you know which Uzbek scholar Europe studied from for 600 years?

The book that served as a primary textbook in European universities for 600 years was created not in Paris or Rome, but in the land of Movarounnahr. Today, a facsimile copy of this unique manuscript, which laid the foundation for the development of global medicine, is on display in the First Renaissance section of the exhibition at the Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan.

At the “Wall of Civilizations and Discoveries,” you will encounter the cultural reality of 19th-century Turkestan

The 19th–20th centuries marked a period of flourishing applied arts and craftsmanship in the territory of Turkestan. Silk adras fabrics, delicate silver jewelry, and ceremonial ornaments were not merely objects, but artistic heritage reflecting the aesthetic taste, social relations, and cultural identity of that era. Today, these unique examples displayed at the “Wall of Civilizations and Discoveries” in the exhibition of the Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan vividly portray the cultural environment of the Second Renaissance period and invite visitors into the world of past artistic traditions.

A colorful chronicle of the Great Silk Road: an interactive journey into the past through the Afrasiab frescoes

The Afrasiab frescoes displayed in the Pre-Islamic Civilizations section of the exhibition at the Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan are considered one of the most unique artistic and cultural heritage masterpieces in human history. These wall paintings vividly demonstrate not only the high cultural life of ancient Samarkand but also the prominent role of Central Asia as a center of international relations. Their presentation in the exhibition through modern scientific and visual technologies provides an opportunity to gain a deep understanding of the history, art, and worldview of pre-Islamic civilizations.
