People museum "Old Uralsk"

People Museum Old Uralsk holds photographs, traditional clothing, tools, and documents from the Ural region. The collections span from the 18th to the 20th centuries and show how people lived and worked in this part of Kazakhstan.

The museum was founded in 2003 to preserve artifacts from a period of major change in northwestern Kazakhstan. It focuses on Cossacks and local communities whose lives shaped the region's development during the 18th to 20th centuries.

Russian and Kazakh influences appear throughout the exhibits, showing how people from different backgrounds lived and worked together in this region. The collected items reveal how these communities shaped each other's daily lives and customs over time.

The museum sits on Kayrat Jumagaliev Street in a central location that is easy to find and reach. Guided tours are available for visitors who want detailed explanations of the collections and their historical context.

The museum holds original items from the time when writer Alexander Pushkin visited the city in 1833 to research the Pugachev rebellion. These pieces connect the collection to a pivotal moment in Russian literary and political history.
