in Culture / Uzbekistan - by


The "Mosaics of Tashkent" project is a new initiative by the Department of Digital Development under the city administration. It aims to showcase and provide information about 334 mosaics in Tashkent, created between the 1960s and 1990s. The project includes a website featuring photos and locations of the mosaics, as well as a mobile application with augmented reality functionality.

The database of urban monumental art pieces was compiled with the help of enthusiasts and specialists. The project's goal is to inform residents and tourists about the mosaics and honor the artists who contributed to Tashkent's monumental art scene. The team behind the project has animated some of the most famous mosaics to bring them to life and correct any errors in their composition.

The initiative is led by the Department of Digital Development and aims to raise awareness about the beauty of Tashkent's mosaics and encourage people to explore and appreciate urban monumental art. The project also highlights the importance of preserving these cultural heritage objects and includes lost mosaics in its database.

The website and mobile application allow users to explore the mosaics based on different criteria such as creation time, authors, districts, and themes. Users can also provide feedback to the developers, report errors, and contribute information to enrich the history of urban monumental art in Tashkent.
