At the national press centre, a press conference has taken place entitled “Museums – the treasure house of our country’s rich history and unique culture”.

K.Oqilova, deputy minister of culture, and others have noted the invaluable role of museums in raising the culture of young people and in building up the international prestige of the Motherland. 

Legislative acts that have been adopted in this country on museums help to further improve their material and technical bases, to initiate work in tune with the current era and to attract young students to museums more broadly. 

Thanks to conditions that have been created, on Tuesdays and Fridays children accompanied by their parents or some others can visit museums free of charge. 

Systemic work is being carried out in this country to ensure the effective work of museums, to increase their funds, to expand the scale of scientific-enlightenment activity and to raise the professional qualifications of specialists. 

This year, an exhibition of unique exhibits of the Nukus state art museum named after I.Savitsky took place in Moscow successfully, which once more showed that there is so much interest in and attention abroad to museums of this country. 

During the event, there was an exchange of views on issues of considerably improving museological education, raising the knowledge and mastery of personnel, widely introducing advanced technologies and expanding enlightenment projects to attract the younger generation to museums. 

Officials of the ministry gave detailed answers to questions from journalists.
