Visitors will have the opportunity to see artifacts illustrating the development of nomadic culture and statehood, from the Hunno-Sarmatian period to the Kazakh Khanate. A distinctive feature of the exhibition is multimedia content that allows a deeper immersion into Kazakhstan’s cultural heritage.
Yannick Lintz, Director of the National Museum of Asian Arts, noted that visitors will see five of Kazakhstan’s "Mona Lisas." The idea for this exhibition was born a year ago during the French president’s visit to Astana, with the goal of introducing an international audience to Kazakhstan’s culture and its significance in world history.
"The exhibition offers an immersive journey into Kazakhstan, with its landscapes, sounds, and especially its five masterpieces or sets of masterpieces that illustrate five stages of this civilization, from ancient history to 18th century Kazakhstan," she said.
It was specified that the event will run until March 24, 2025.
