The exhibits of the National Museum of Tajikistan are clear evidence of the ancient and rich history of the Tajik people, their culture and art, which influenced the development of the culture of the peoples of Central Asia and was itself enriched thanks to the mutual communication of the peoples of our countries. Today, the museum plays an important role in educating the younger generation of Tajikistan, as well as in familiarizing guests of Dushanbe with the achievements of both the people of Tajikistan and the peoples of Central Asia. I wish continued success to the museum staff.
