Uzbekistan's Unique Islamic Heritage in Jeddah
Uzbekistan
At the second Islamic Arts Biennale in Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan has showcased unique artifacts that reflect the country’s rich heritage for the first time. Among the exhibits are the ancient "Katta Langar" Quran, the astronomical works of Ulugh Beg and Biruni, and a 16th-century Tashkent scroll.
The biennale, held under the theme "And everything in between," serves as an important platform for demonstrating the achievements of Islamic civilization. The unique exhibits brought by Uzbekistan include the 8th-century "Katta Langar" Quran, one of the oldest surviving manuscripts, as well as the works of great scholars such as Biruni and Ulugh Beg, who made significant contributions to astronomy and astrology.
This collection, specially prepared for the biennale, will be made available to the public for the first time, offering a unique opportunity to see works of art and science that have become an essential part of the world’s cultural heritage.
"Our participation affirms Uzbekistan's commitment to preserving and promoting Islamic heritage," said Gayane Umerova, Chair of the Foundation for the Development of Culture and Arts.
The biennale in Jeddah will run from January 25 to May 25 and will be an important event for strengthening intercultural dialogue and recognizing the achievements of the Islamic world.
