Sophie Ibbotson, the Ambassador of the tourism brand of Uzbekistan in the UK, published an article on the Weproject.mediа portal inviting readers to visit Nukus, a city where art goes beyond museum exhibitions. In article, she emphasizes that although Nukus, the capital of Karakalpakstan, is rarely included in tourist routes, those who decide to go there will discover a true art capital of Central Asia.
As the author notes, the Savitsky Museum with its unique collection of Russian and Turkestan avant-garde is the main cultural asset of the city. However, art in Nukus is not limited to the museum; it permeates the entire urban atmosphere. Contemporary Karakalpak artists, whose works can be seen in galleries and workshops, as well as street mosaics and art objects, make the city a center of living art.
Sophie Ibbotson also focuses on how art is becoming an important part of the developing tourism sector of the city. Nukus is attracting more and more travelers interested in a unique cultural atmosphere, where art lives in public spaces and influences the daily life of the city.
