The architectural concept of the project draws inspiration from the monumental style of the Timurid era, as evidenced by the majestic portals and the 65-meter-high dome. Light, sound, and multimedia technologies create a distinctive atmosphere.

The center includes an archive, library, academy, and conference rooms, integrating scientific research with educational initiatives.

About 1,500 scientists and specialists from 40 countries participate in the research activities at the complex, making it an important platform for intercultural dialogue.

The Center features unique exhibits that reflect the development of Islamic civilization in Uzbekistan.
