The French public will have the opportunity
to explore the centuries-old history and rich culture of Kazakhstan. The Guimet
National Museum of Asian Arts in Paris will soon host an exhibition showcasing
the treasures of the Great Steppe. It will feature five sections and 35 rare
artifacts, including the Tobol thinker, items from Botai culture, the Golden
Man, bronze lamps of the commander Amir Timur, and other relics. The artifacts from
the collection of the Kazakh National Museum and the Azret Sultan State
Historical and Cultural Reserve Museum reflect key periods of nomadic
civilization from the third millennium BC to the 18th century. Notably, the
exhibition will run until the end of March 2025.
«Another unique feature of the exhibition
is its immersive content. This means that the French public will not only be
able to see the artifacts on display, but will also experience the spirit and
unique flavor of Kazakhstan’s cultural heritage through virtual reality
technology. The atmosphere of each historical stage of the Kazakh people will
be enhanced for visitors with the fragrance of wormwood and specially selected
music,» noted Kumar Zhunussov, Head of the International Relations Department
at the Kazakh National Museum.
