The Central State Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan submitted by h_fenton : The Central State Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Vote or comment on this photo)
The Central State Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan, at 44 Furmanov, Almaty. Has a series of large exhibition halls with displays ranging from geology and fossils to prehistory and right up to the present day including cultural displays.

There are english speaking guides available. Most labelling (which is generally quite good) is in Russian, there are a few labels in English. The most commonly seen English label is "don't touch, please!".

The museum gives an overview of a range of different sites and finds in Kazakhstan including Funerary Monuments (burial chambers, tombs, etc); Petroglyph's, Standing stones, Ceramics, a nice range of domestic finds with pictures illustrating how they were used; some palaeolithic sites.

There are traditional and cultural displays representing the period from the 19th Century onwards. The history of the Disposition from 1917 (1920) onwards with historical re-enactment sculptures?. And displays from 1991 following the breakup of the Soviet Union with Kazakhstan becoming a Republic right up to the present day.

Entrance fee: 100 KZT (July 2008)
