The Storyline.

The exhibition “Uzbekistan: the Avant-garde in the desert” reveals to the public a little-known page of artistic history of the first half of the 20th century,
presenting over 100 works from the Tashkent Museum and the Nukus Museum, long defined as the “Louvre of the Desert”.


The exhibition project is promoted and supported by the Uzbekistan Culture Foundation and is curated by Silvia Burini and Giuseppe Barbieri.

Multimedia contents of the exhibition allow the viewer to immerse himself in Uzbek history through an emotional video and an interactive touchscreen experience.
