MUSÉE D'ALMATY

The Almaty Museum complements the visit to the Central State Museum by focusing on the history of the ancient capital, from the first nomadic tribes to the present day. The museum's collection comprises over 40,000 items, and the exhibition, housed in a beautiful building, rotates regularly so that the most interesting pieces can be displayed in turn. The focus is on the ^20th century and Cold War collection, but there are also exhibits from Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Opposite the museum, don't miss the memorial to the victims of the famine.
