The Association of Almaty
Museums, which includes eight galleries with a total collection of more than
60,000 exhibits, received the Best Museum of the Turkic World award. According
to Secretary General of TURKSOY Sultan Raev, this esteemed recognition
highlights the Association’s efforts in promoting national values and the
historical and cultural heritage of the people both in Kazakhstan and abroad.
«Last year, an exhibition was
held in Naples, Italy. This year, it was successfully hosted in Prague, at the
heart of Europe, and garnered significant attention. The museums showcased the
rich spiritual heritage of the Kazakh people in their displays. The exhibition
offered visitors a great opportunity to delve into this legacy. In recognition
of the museum’s continuous impactful efforts, TURKSOY awarded it a prestigious
honor,» said Raev.
In addition, traveling
exhibitions dedicated to the culture and traditions of the nomads of Kazakhstan
have been organized in cities across Türkiye, South Korea, and Austria.
According to experts, these efforts not only promote Kazakh culture abroad but
also attract tourists to the country.
