In 1961, after the death of Mukhtar Auezov, his relatives proposed the government an idea to create a house-museum at Mukhtar Auezov’s residence.
The corresponding decree was signed almost immediately - the scale of Auezov’s figure did not rise any doubts. The house opened its doors for visitors two years later - in 1963. Both in the study and in the rooms the interior was recreated with maximum precision - just like during the writer's lifetime.
