MUSEUM EDUCATION IN THE 21ST CENTURY: GLOBAL CONTEXT AND TRANSFORMATIONS

Abstract

Dear organizers, dear participants , dear friends ,

First, congratulations for the interesting topic you have chosen for your conference!

During my recents trips in Uzbekistan, I have noticed how your country is currently experiencing a remarkable transformation in its cultural and museum landscape, thanks to the initiative of President Shavkat Mirzyoyev.

Over the past few years, the country has launched a series of ambitious projects aimed at preserving its exceptional historical heritage while developing new forms of museum culture, contemporary art, cultural education, and international cooperation.

This transformation reflects a broader ambition: to position Uzbekistan not only as a country of exceptional historical heritage, associated with the great cities of Samarkand, my beloved city! Bukhara and Tachkent but also as an active participant in the international cultural and contemporary art scene.
