During Cultural Heritage Week in Tashkent, Boria Andrie, Executive Director of the Wilmotte company from France, presented her project for the exhibition layout of the museum hall under construction at the Center for Islamic Civilization, suggesting that the hall dedicated to the Second Renaissance be designed in the style of the Louvre.
The renowned designer outlined her vision for the museum in her project titled ‘Architectural Solutions, Interior Design, and Scenography on the Example of the Second Renaissance Exhibition.’
‘Around the main hall with a central dome, four halls are planned, each dedicated to a specific period. After all, the Center for Islamic Civilization is not just a museum but a platform for immersive experiences. This is not simply a museum but a center, and therefore there will be numerous immersive practices. The exhibition will allow access to a library, where the shelves will feature live illustrations. We were inspired by Timurid art, as it is essential to combine new technologies with historical monuments. We have similar experience in the Louvre, the Qatar Museum, and other countries. In exhibitions in Marrakech, we displayed very large artifacts, and we propose to do the same here. There is sufficient space. We also suggest combining touch panels with original artifacts to engage visitors in the study of history,’ Andrie explained.
