The visitor is given the opportunity to slip into the role of a wanderer on the old Silk Road, coming out of the desert and entering a prosperous city, steeped in culture. In the exhibition medieval instruments used for astrological research, mathematical sequences of numbers, silk painting and filigree golden jewellery are displayed. The exhibition "Intellectual heritage of our ancestors" bears witness to how research results and works of art from Uzbekistan have paid their contribution to the world's cultural heritage. The second section portrays "Uzbekistan today", with its economy, its sport programmes and its age-old traditional crafts.
