From 24 to 26 September, the XII St Petersburg International Forum of United Cultures brought together representatives of cultural institutions, government bodies and the professional community.

As part of the Forum, Bobirmirzo Saemov took part in the plenary discussion, ‘From Object to Route: How Partnerships Between Business and Culture Transform Territories’. The discussion focused on contemporary approaches to the preservation of cultural heritage, the development of cultural and tourism infrastructure, and the role of long-term partnerships in the integrated development of territories.

The Forum took place at the State Hermitage Museum, where the exhibition ‘Unveiling the Palace Chambers: Art at the Court of the Emir of Bukhara’, organised by the Foundation in collaboration with the State Hermitage Museum, is currently on view.
