History of the exhibitions began with the famous Uzbek painters and artists. The earthquake that happened in the sixties of the last century brought a lot of destruction. It was decided to fundamentally strengthen the foundation and walls of the building in order to maintain architectural monument for future generations. Each year at least 50 exhibitions of different directions were held.
