The Center of Contemporary Art in Tashkent has officially been recognized as one of the most exciting destinations in the world. The prestigious TIME magazine included the capital’s center in its annual ranking “World’s Greatest Places 2026,” according to Yuz.uz.

TIME’s list is not just a collection of popular spots, but the result of work by an international network of correspondents and experts. In selecting the winners, the editors evaluated the novelty of the project, its cultural impact, and the uniqueness of the experiences it offers visitors. Alongside Tashkent, the ranking features outstanding hotels, museums, and landmarks from around the world.

The inclusion of the center in this list confirms Tashkent’s status as a rapidly growing cultural hub in Central Asia. The center has become a space where traditional heritage meets modern trends. For residents and visitors of the capital, this means access to world-class exhibitions, educational programs, and unique art installations.

Today, the center is not just a museum but a vibrant space for creativity and dialogue. It is expected that this international recognition will attract even more art enthusiasts and tourists to Uzbekistan, eager to explore the region’s evolving cultural landscape.
