Week of Culture-2020: The fifth day

At the Dashoguz Regional Museum of History and Local Lore, a meeting of employees of museums and state historical and cultural reserves of the country was held.

This largest museum in the northern region of the country was built in 2011. There are archaeological and ethnographic expositions, a gallery of fine art, pavilions dedicated to natural attractions, as well as modern achievements of the region. In total, the museum has more than eight thousand exhibits.

The meeting participants discussed issues of improving activities, introducing digital technologies into the core field, including the possibility of virtual modeling of monuments located along the Silk Road. Ancient fortresses, caravanserais preserved on the Turkmen land, to this day arouse the interest of world scientists.

The meeting participants also touched on the widespread adoption of modern technologies directly in the work of museums and storage, the creation of an electronic database of museum property records, and the digitalization of the historical landscape of ancient cities, etc.

Workers in this field visited search expeditions on the territory of all velayats. As a result, artifacts were found reflecting the life of the local population in ancient times, including samples of handicraft production and needlework, household items of historical value.

Ancient nightmares and weaving tools, a wooden dish, fragments of ancient glazed bricks, an oil churn-juvaz, vessels for storing grain and water were transferred to the museum of the Dashoguz velayat. These findings were presented today.

Among the exhibits are ornamental terracotta tiles and small fragments of wall cladding with majolica that were discovered during recent archaeological excavations in Kunyaurgench.
