About

The museum describes itself as the country’s largest collector and keeper of artistic heritage. Since 1984 it has carried the name of Abylkhan Kasteyev (1904–1973), the founder of Kazakhstan’s fine arts.

The collection covers Kazakh, Russian, Western European and Eastern art, as well as 20th-century foreign art. See ticket prices on the official website: foreign visitors have a separate rate.
