The guests were introduced to the central feature of the exhibition – a nighttime desert scene where zodiac signs, Ulugbek’s star chart, and meridians appear in the starry sky. Visitors walk through dunes as if part of a caravan traveling along the Great Silk Road. Along the route, like a journey through the hours, unfolds a comprehensive narrative of the history of civilization.
The exhibition also featured performances by Uzbek and Turkmen artists playing the dutar and tanbur and reciting verses by great poets Alisher Navoi and Magtymguly.
The innovative presentation extensively used special effects and theatrical elements, which drew visitors’ interest.
