Savitsky State Museum of Arts of the Republic of Karakalpakstan in Nukus.

The exhibition invites visitors to discover Savitsky’s unique artistic world, his creative search and his determination to preserve works of art that became an important part of Uzbekistan’s cultural heritage. The exposition brings together past and present, revealing the connection between historical context, artistic traditions and the modern perception of art.
