The Museum Complex Residence Abylai Khan, North Kazakhstan Province, Kazakhstan
5.0 (8 reviews) Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #3 in Petropavlovsk Speciality Museums
Great and Educational Attraction in the City!
This museum is a must-visit for any travelers in North Kazakhstan. That being said, a working knowledge of Russian or Kazakh would help to fully understand the exhibits. There is one guide who speaks English currently. The significance of Abylai Khan, who essentially unified the Kazakhs for eventual statehood, is portrayed comprehensively with many original artifacts. The site itself is historically important to Kazakh history, as the museum building (ground floor) was the khan's former residence. Located not far from the city center, it is currently letting folks in for free. I can't imagine how long that will last - so make sure you check it out soon!

Beautiful but overlooked site.
The museum is quite a revelation. It houses some of the most awesome artifacts of Kazakh history I have ever seen. The degree to which they have preserved these artifacts is highly commendable - it shows how much they value their past. By the reception we got, it was evident that not many foreigners visit this place. We were treated like celebrities.

Museum that does not disappoint!!!
Area after area of something amazing! Everything is labeled and explains exactly what you want to know. Your not bothering or hurried by a tour guide or curator. You can go at your own pace and truly enjoy this fantastic museum. What an amazing place past and present blended with alot of pride. Thank you for letting us enjoy such a wonderful place. You truly have a beautiful museum.
