In New Tashkent, a majestic National Theater building will also be built based on international standards, which will provide amenities for both artists and spectators. In the future, it will become a kind of creative laboratory for all theaters in the country.
The city will also have a unique spirituality complex, uniting an international research center, a school of creativity, a literature museum named after Alisher Navoi and the National Maqom Center.
