On March 19, the international exhibition "Echo of Silk Road Merchants: Samarkand Monuments and Eurasian Relations" began its work at the National Museum of Ethnology in Osaka, Japan.
The exhibition will unite more than 200 items, including 63 archaeological and museum exhibits from Samarkand, representing the Institute of Archaeology and the Samarkand Museum-Reserve. A significant part of the materials belongs to the ruins of Kafirkala and reflects the results of Uzbek-Japanese archaeological research.
The project is dedicated to the role of traders in the history of Central Asia and proposes to consider the Silk Road not only as a commercial route, but also as a place of cultural, religious, and social exchange connecting different regions of Eurasia.
The exhibition will last until June 2, 2026. This was reported by the Fund for the Development of Culture and Arts of Uzbekistan.
