Museum of History of Kokshetau

The Museum of History of Kokshetau occupies a two-story brick building and displays regional heritage through multiple exhibition halls. The collections include materials about nature, ancient civilizations, and different historical periods of the Akmola Region.

The institution was founded in 1949 as a local history museum within an educational department. Over time, it expanded its collections and became a regional center for documenting the area's past.

The name reflects the regional importance of Kokshetau as a center for understanding local heritage and traditions. Visitors encounter how these themes shape the way people in the area view their past and identity.

The building contains several themed sections covering different aspects of regional history that are straightforward to navigate. Visitors should plan enough time to walk through all areas to get a complete overview.

The building itself is a protected architectural monument from the early 1900s and carries its own historical significance. An adjacent outdoor exhibition showcases artifacts from the Eneolithic period.
