Central State Museum Of The Republic Of Kazakhstan

Make sure to purchase additional tickets to access the protected area for the museum's gold and jewelry collection. It costs 1300 tenge on top of the regular entry fee. You can also request a guide who speaks English and other languages. Photography and filming are not permitted in this area. The display features incredibly interesting and exquisitely crafted handmade gold artifacts and precious stones.

For those who do not speak Russian, this museum may leave them with more questions than answers. It is a lovely way to spend an hour exploring the history of Kazakhstan, including its role during World War II. The admission fee is reasonable at 300 tenge for locals and 500 tenge for foreign tourists.

This restaurant is easily accessible and has an affordable entrance fee. Visitors can spend 1-2 hours there. Unfortunately, when I visited, there was a large exhibition taking place, but it was still a good experience for those looking to explore something in Almaty.

Very nice informatiw. museum is great. must try to understand the Kazakh cultural history.

The building is impressive and located in a lovely park. The museum itself is okay, there are a few nice objects but nothing that will blow your mind. Mostly recreations rather than actual archeological artifacts. There was a very charming series of dioramas about the various ethnic groups living in Kazakhstan. Go if you have the time, but don’t worry about missing it, if coming here strains your itinerary.
