The building is magnificent, impressive, although it seems small from a distance! The location is convenient, parking and bus stops are close. The exhibits are interesting, and world masterpieces are often exhibited. There are many historical and archaeological artifacts. I did not like the fact that the samples of national clothes worn on mannequins do not look very similar, or rather, they do not look at all like Kazakhs. This greatly affects the perception of the beauty of our clothes, the national flavor is lost. Does no one notice this?! I'm just ashamed of the work of our cultural figures or cultural figures!
Это действительно хороший музей с богатой экспозицией с древнейших времен по наши дни. Если вы даже всего на пару дней в Астане, стоит выделить несколько часов на посещение музея, чтобы познакомиться с казахской культурой. В моем случае был грамотный и любознательный экскурсовод и рассказывал очень интересно. It's a really good museum with a rich exhibition which covers ages from ancient up to nowadays. Even if you stay in Astana only a couple of days, it's worthwhile to set a few hours aside for visiting this museum in order to touch Kazakh culture. When I did so, I was lead by well-educated tourguide. He was a person is interested in this field and spoke in fascinating way.
A good museum, of course, if compared with the Mongolian one, the location of the exhibits is more convenient there, the movement pattern through the halls is clearer, and there is much more information.
In general, I really liked the exposition of gold miners, the hall of dinosaurs, and national clothes. I recommend you to visit.The 7th floor of the temporary art hall is so-so, about nothing, small.The art gallery is gorgeous.
