Its main event was the opening of a new exposition of the Shahrisabz Museum of Material Culture dedicated to Amir Temur and the Temurids, as well as a photo exhibition ‘Masterpieces of Uzbekistan’s Museums’, which featured photographs of the best exhibits.

“After many years we have revived the holding of a museum festival in our republic,” Nabijon Khushvaktov, director of the Amir Temur Museum of Material Culture in Shahrisabz, says. “Previously, it was held in Karshi in 2006, Marghilan in 2007, and last time in 2008 in Tashkent. Our proposal to hold a museum festival in Shahrisabz was supported by the Ministry of Culture. It enables residents of our city and region, as well as visitors, to get acquainted with the exhibits of many museums of the country. In addition, within the scientific and practical conference, many museum workers and specialists exchanged experience.”

“With the efforts of specialists from many regions we have managed to renew our museum as well,” Nabijon Khushvaktov continues. “The Ministry of Culture, the regional administration, the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan, colleagues from Tashkent, Samarqand, and Karshi helped to create the new exposition. The design work was done by a group of artists and designers from Samarqand, led by an experienced museum specialist Shomurod Ruzimuradov.”
