In Tashkent, a new educational center inside the Center of Islamic Civilization invites children to explore the country’s rich heritage through technology, storytelling, and interactive learning.
The children’s hall features interactive exhibits, multilingual content in Uzbek, Russian, and English, and digital installations that present the lives and discoveries of Central Asian scholars. Using artificial intelligence and animation, historical figures explain how science, creativity, and curiosity shaped the Islamic world.
The Center also houses the International School of Calligraphy, where experts and artists conduct workshops to revive traditional Qur’anic and ornamental scripts, as well as to promote contemporary approaches to calligraphy.
A major part of the complex is the Library of the Center for Islamic Civilization, which consists of two floors and contains more than 35,000 printed publications, including around 2,500 manuscripts.
