Akmola Regional Museum of History and Local Lore

The Akmola Regional Museum of History and Local Lore is a museum in Kokshetau with six exhibition halls displaying artifacts, archaeological finds, and natural history collections from the region. The exhibits span different periods and tell the story of people who lived here.

The museum was founded in 1920 and initially served as a documentation center for local history under the district education authority. In 2000, the institution received its current name and formalized its role as a major cultural site in the region.

The museum displays how different ethnic groups have lived in the region and what customs they practiced. Visitors can see through the exhibitions how these communities developed over time.

The museum occupies a two-story brick building from 1904 located near the central square, making it easy to find. Visitors can join guided tours and learn more through educational programs offered throughout the year.

The museum manages not just this collection but also coordinates seven additional museums across the entire region as part of a network. This network helps preserve cultural history and heritage at multiple locations simultaneously.
