Дом дружбы, Cultural center in Almaty, Kazakhstan
The House of Friendship is a cultural center in Almaty with exhibition halls, dance studios, conference rooms, and offices for ethnic cultural associations. The spaces are equipped for various events and provide room for meetings and artistic activities.
The building opened in 1972 to support the development of interethnic relations in Kazakhstan. It has since become a central place for exchange among different communities.
The center is used by different ethnic communities who teach their languages and perform traditional art forms here. Visitors can watch dance performances and attend exhibitions that reflect the cultural life of individual groups in Almaty.
It is easiest to visit during daytime when cultural events or exhibitions are happening. It helps to check ahead about current programs so you don't miss planned activities.
The building houses the headquarters of the Assembly of People of Kazakhstan, which represents over 130 ethnic groups in the country. This multitude of communities under one roof makes it a rare place of diversity.
