Uzbekistan, "the land of the Uzbeks," is part of West Turkestan located to the west of Pamir Mountains. Originated from Pamir Mountains and extended to Aral Sea, many oases were formed along the rivers, and the region was a major center on the Silk Road. Comprised of four sections in chronological order, this exhibition introduces Uzbekistan culture from the prehistoric period to the 8th century covering the Bronze & Iron Age, Buddhist civilization, and Sogdian culture. The last section showcasing a variety of modern craftworks allows the audience to have a glimpse of Uzbek lifestyle up to these days. The first Uzbek culture presentation ever in such a scale, the exhibition aims to strengthen the cultural exchange between Korean and Uzbekistan in link with the recent growth of Uzbek immigrants in Korea.
