Kazakhstan’s national exhibition
‘Cultural Code of the Kazakh Steppe Civilization’ will be held at the Louvre
Museum in Paris. The parties have not only reached a preliminary agreement but
also developed a conceptual plan for the pavilion. The national exhibition at
the Vernissage Museum slated for 2026 will be part of a large-scale project
designed to increase the recognition of Kazakhstan worldwide, including through
traditional heritage. The country’s Ministry of Culture and Information is
currently preparing to organize the exhibition, noting that it will also
enhance relations with French partners. This idea was announced during the
official visit of Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to France last
November. The artifacts, covering the period from the 4th millennium BC to the
mid-19th century, will be exhibited in the halls of one of the most famous and
visited museums in the world. The exposition will be based on authentic
rarities from the funds of a number of museums in Kazakhstan.
“The list of exhibits carefully
selected for exposition in the Louvre is now being compiled. The event will
reflect the whole list of values of Kazakhstan as well as comprehensively
reveal its diverse culture and history. The exposition, which is planned to last
two-three months, will facilitate the promotion of the rich heritage of the
Kazakh people,” said Gulzeinep Pazylova, the spokesperson for the Kazakh
Ministry of Сulture and Information.
