The ceremony was attended by Professor Matthias Wemhoff, Director of the Museum of Prehistory and Early History, museum staff, and embassy representatives.
The ambassador of our country highlighted that each volume of this unique publication showcases rare artifacts and artworks from Uzbekistan, housed in collections of various museums worldwide. He noted that these publications serve as an important source for learning about the rich history and cultural heritage of the Uzbek people in Germany and for its scholarly study. He also mentioned that the 11th volume is dedicated to the cultural monuments of our country stored in German museums.
The book-album, based on collections from the Federal Republic of Germany, includes masterpieces from Islamic medieval times, the late medieval Uzbek khanates, and works by 20th-century Uzbek masters. The represented collections include the Berlin State Library, Berlin Museum of Islamic Art, Ethnological Museum of Berlin, Linden Museum in Stuttgart, Hamburg Museum of Arts and Crafts, Saxony State Ethnographic Collections, Lübeck's Hanseatic City Ethnological Collection, and even the honorary senator M. Bumiller's collection.
The meeting also discussed prospects for cooperation in the exchange of experience, preservation, and restoration of cultural monuments, study and preservation of scientific manuscripts, as well as the organization of exhibitions and conferences in the field of culture and art.
