Semey Regional Historical and Local History Museum

The Semey Regional Historical Museum displays archaeological artifacts, ethnographic materials, and historical objects across six exhibition halls with 2,489 items.

Founded in 1883 by political exiles, the museum received support from Kazakh writer Abai Kunanbayev and philosopher Shakarim Kudaibergenuly during its establishment.

The collections include palaeontology specimens, zoological exhibits, botanical samples, minerals, and traditional items that represent the heritage of the Semey region.

The museum provides guided tours in multiple languages and maintains a research center where scholars can access historical archives and documentation.

During the October 1917 revolution, the museum building served as the House of Freedom where Alikhan Bokeikhanov delivered speeches to city residents.
