Bukhara, a rising destination for calligraphy lovers, is not only home to two museums devoted to the art but also a cradle where its legacy continues to live and breathe.

Home to generations of artisans, Bukhara keeps the spirit of tradition alive — in embroidery, weaving, woodcarving, metalwork, and other time-honoured crafts.

With over 2,500 years of history, Bukhara feels suspended in time — a place where the memory of the Silk Road still lingers, inviting you to wander through this crossroads of ancient worlds, a city whose very name carries the meaning of “God’s Joy.”

At the Bukhara Biennale, visitors set out on a caravan’s journey through this ancient Silk Road city, where more than 70 site-specific works of art offer their own recipes for mending broken hearts.

At Expo 2025 in Osaka, wanderers are invited on a global journey of culture, creativity, and connection — no passport needed. Our first stop: Asia.
