EURONEWS: “The Center for Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan is repatriating priceless artifacts”

The prestigious international news agency Euronews has recognized that Uzbekistan is actively working to preserve and restore its rich cultural heritage through the Center for Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan.

Operating under national initiatives, the Center has successfully repatriated nearly 2,000 historical Uzbek artifacts and manuscripts from abroad. Additionally, it has acquired rare and unique exhibits through international auctions and partnerships.

The State Customs Committee and major global auction houses have played a key role in helping return valuable items that had been dispersed across various countries in ancient times.

The Center also boasts Uzbekistan’s first modern restoration laboratories, where experts carefully preserve manuscripts, textiles, metalworks, and other historical materials.

By safeguarding and exhibiting these priceless treasures, the Center for Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan aims to serve as a bridge between the past and the present, celebrating the centuries-old traditions of art, science, and faith that have shaped Islamic civilization.
