During the meeting between the Fund Forum and the Director of the Museum, Henri Loyrette, the two sides discussed issues relating to cooperation between the two organizations in education, science, culture and arts. The two sides are planning to sign a Memorandum of Cooperation and organize a series of art exhibitions in the Louvre and Uzbekistan.

The Louvre delegation visited Samarkand and Bukhara where they viewed several museums and historical sites as well as Paikent town where archeological excavations are under way.

The Louvre Museum (Musée du Louvre) is one of the world's largest museums, the most visited art museum in the world and a historic monument. A central landmark of Paris, it is located on the right bank of the River Seine. Nearly 35,000 objects from prehistory to the 19th century are exhibited over an area of 60,600 square meters (652,300 square feet).

Housed in the Louvre Palace, which began as a fortress built in the late 12th century under Philip II, the Museum was quickly accepted as the “museum among museums”, and since then it has remained a model and a recognized authority. Founded in 1793 as a museum for all, it celebrates humanity's long journey with the remarkable scope of a collection that spans thousands of years, reaches from America to the borders of India and China, and is highlighted by iconic, universally admired works such as the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo and the Victory of Samothrace.

On a scale unrivaled anywhere in the world, these accumulated riches make the Louvre a focal point for permanent dialogue between past and present, and a place of learning, delight, and discovery for millions of visitors of all backgrounds. Once a home to kings, the Louvre has enduring, intimate links with French history, drawing on the spirit of the Revolution and its notion of perpetual evolution, innovation, influence, and alertness to the new.
