Museum of Arts. A. Kasteeva is the largest art
museum in Kazakhstan and a leading research
and cultural and educational center in the
field of fine arts.

The history of the A. Kasteyev State Museum
of Arts began in 1935, when on September 23,
the former Government of Kazakhstan issued a
decree to organize the Kazakh State Art
Gallery. This decree paid special attention to
the 15th anniversary of the Kazakh Socialist
Soviet Republic Art Exhibition. Many art works
of this exhibition were purchased by the
museum and became the base of our
collection.

In 1965 the Government of Kazakhstan
made the decision to provide the Gallery
with its own building designed by
Kazakhstan architects Elsa Kuznetsova, Olga
Naumova and Boris Novikov. In 1976 the
Kazakh Art Gallery was renamed the State
Museum of Arts of the Republic of
Kazakhstan, and the Republican Museum of
Applied Art also joined the Museum. The
new building was opened for visitors on
September 16, 1976. In January 1984 the
Museum was named after Abylkhan
Kasteyev, People Artist of Kazakhstan (19041973).

Today, the museum has become
the center of new cultural
initiatives. The museum’s many
diverse contacts allow the
museum to organize regular
exhibitions - more than 70 every
year - of Kazakhstan artists,
foreign artists, and exhibitions of
private collections, which are of
particular interest amongst lovers
of fine arts.

In addition, the A. Kasteyev Museum is a leading
institution of research in art restoration. Many
educational activities like national and
international scientific conferences, seminars and
round tables are organized every year. The
museum's scientific researchers present their
papers at both national and international
conferences, as well as publish monographs and
articles based on their fundamental studies. The
continuing goal for the museum is to increase its
value as an important national research center
for the study of fine and decorative arts.
