Imam Bukhari Museum has been honored with two Gold Winner awards at the MUSE Awards 2026, receiving recognition in two distinct categories: “Experiential & Immersive – Exhibition Experience” and “Experiential & Immersive – Multi-Channel Experience.”
The legacy of Imam Bukhari, regarded as one of the most important figures in the science of hadith, continues to carry profound meaning today through its centuries-transcending reliability and its enduring place within the tradition of knowledge. With this vision, the Imam Bukhari Museum was designed as a special project that brings a deep-rooted scholarly heritage back into view through a contemporary language of experience.
Throughout the project, light, sound, interactive narratives, 3D constructions, and cinematic productions come together to create a holistic museum experience that draws visitors in. Each area was designed with a narrative flow that allows knowledge to be felt, invites reflection, and welcomes visitors into an impressive journey progressing step by step through history.
Reinterpreting traditional memory through today’s technologies, this approach carries the Imam Bukhari Museum beyond a classical exhibition space, transforming it into a powerful experiential environment where culture, art, technology, and the science of hadith converge along a shared narrative line.
As Project Istanbul, we are proud to have received two Gold Winner awards with this project, which brings Uzbekistan’s cultural heritage to international visibility and reinterprets it through a contemporary museology vision.
