Visit to the Museum

We figured out the bus system this week and were able to visit the cultural museum .  The museum reflects the history of Kazakhstan since ancient times to the present day.  We saw many beautiful and interesting items.  It is nice to have a better understanding of the history and culture here. 

 

 The Kazakh people were nomads who lived in yurts. A yurt is a round tent-like structure made out of camel or sheep felt. This is a regular size yurt for the family of average wealth. Someone who was rich would have a much larger yurt.

This is part of the interior.  They have such beautiful tapestry and Kazakh rugs everywhere. The beauty and the quality of their materials is astounding for such nomadic people.
