The Fund for Development of Culture and Arts will create the first museum dedicated to the history of Jadidism in the Hovli Poyon house in Bukhara.
This house, built in the 1860-1870s in the Goziyon quarter next to Gavkushan madrasah, belonged to the famous intellectual, one of the leaders of Central Asian Jadidism, Usmankhoja Pulatkhojaev. One of the first new method schools was opened here, where students were taught their native language, mathematics, history, geography and other subjects free of charge.
In the well-preserved old part of the house, it is planned to carry out the necessary restoration work. The museum's exposition will include manuscripts and personal items of representatives of the movement, and a specially created multimedia system will reveal the history of Jadidism.
It is planned to organize a research center at the museum, materials and archives for scientific activities will be available to scientists.
One of the initiators of the creation of the museum, Timurkhodzha Pulatkhodzhaev, the son of Usmanakhodzha Pulatkhodzhaev, will donate to his fund his rich library, which includes ancient valuable manuscripts, as well as an extensive collection of modern literature.
