The Imam Bukhari Memorial Complex in Samarkand region has been known of late to undergo reconstruction and expansion.

Accordingly, the draft project was revised and refined. Now it provides for the construction of a large mosque, minarets and terraces, an alley, as well as hotels and other infrastructure along it.

In accordance with the draft devised by the world famous Japanese architect Tadao Ando by the order of Culture and Art Foundation under the Ministry of Culture of our country, a new three-story circular structure is intended to be raised next to the current building of the Arts Museum.

The need to construct a new building is due to the limited exposition capacities of the existing block; currently, only 3 percent of the exhibits can be presented. With the assembly of a new facility, the possibilities and area of ​​the museum are expected to expand significantly.

The project for the reconstruction of the museum, reflecting contemporary trends and solutions in the socially oriented architecture, will preserve the historical value and integrity of the venue and come to be another ornament of our capital city.
