Thank you ArtLab Shkola Almaty for the wonderful creative leisure and inspiring atmosphere! Anya, Zarina, we are glad to meet you! A flower painting master class is the discovery of your talents, relaxation and a pleasant memory in the form of a picture that you created yourself.
The atmosphere here is nothing like you will find in the conventional theaters. You do not need to be dressed properly, you can even sit on the floor if you wish. It is small theater, allowing you to feel the audience and actors.
Wide variety of art with plenty of older works from 16th century onwards. The place is not gleaming and modern but serviceable with large exhibition spaces. There was also quite a bit of sculpture, much if it in bronze. To top it off there was plenty of Kazakh content both as subject matter and through the nationality of the artists. Varying temperature from inconsistent air conditioning but not uncomfortable.
One of the must - visit places in Almaty! This museum-gallery contains the masterpieces of Italian, French, German, Flemish old masters starting from 14th century. It has also the pictures of Russian classic artists of the 18-19ths centures. You would find also the works of famous avanguard artists. How does it happen that Kazakhstan has this collection? In late 1930s the Soviet government took a decision that all Soviet people should have the possibility to see the masterpieces of famous artists and be aware of the best representatives of international cultural inheritance. Thus, the special Commission with the best antiquariato specialists and leading art critics together with several experts from Moscow and Leningrad museums and galleries prepared collections for each of members of the USSR ( Union of Soviet Socialistic states) and accompanied them to the point of destinations. As well as other Republics, Kazakhstan received its collection, which contains at least one masterpiece of each artist of the old masters school. I will keep in secret what exactly you could see in Kasteev Museem, because it will be more exciting if you discover it by yourself. All of them are originals, no fakes and no copies. I have seen already this great gift to Kazakh people from the USSR and I am on my way to find out other such collections. I saw it already in Almaty (Kazakhstan) and in Tashkent ( Uzbekistan). Unfortunately, In Kyrgystan this unvaluable collection was stolen during one of these local Revolutions and the Kyrgyz people didn't even understand what they have lost! governments in Kyrgyzstan are changing every two-three years, while most of local people think how to survive ... it is a sad story.I feel proud that Kazakhstan has managed to save the collection. That's why you should really get this chance to visit Kasteev gallery! It is situated in the center of the city, not far from Rakhat Palace and the National Circus. The price of the entry ticket is ridiculously low.. something around 1 euro. You could come as many times as you like. Enjoy your time!
Small and very cozy room. Due to what the feeling that the actors are conducting their dialogue with you. The performances are so emotional that you have to walk home to have time to "digest", try on
Before the introduction of quarantine, we have been to this wonderful place many times! What I can say with confidence:
1. This place is definitely suitable for holding a family or children's holiday, they celebrated their 10th birthday there the children were just delighted!
2. We had a bachelorette party with friends the sound is super, the musical pauses are always in the subject! Atmosphere ❤️
3. Celebrated my birthday there in a booth, sang heartily! Song catalog
As for the cuisine, everything is very tasty, just like at home!
Prices are very reasonable
I recommend this wonderful establishment to everyone !!!!!
Good vibes are produced in this place. Basically there are three music halls inside, 2 at the 2nd level and main hall is on ground level. Face-, dress- controls are in place. Positive atmosphere, quality drinks and good quality music. Must visit place
Amazing place to relax,running and having fun with friends. Especially, it is comfortable to go for a walk with children. You can feed squirrels and enjoy picturesque views.
The park is pretty quiet. There are lots of benches and such and you can just sit there, and you won't be distributed. The statues look great too! Also yes there are stray dogs there sometimes.
This hostel is great! The kitchen is artfully decorated and large. The shower/bathrooms are clean, no water pile up, modern. The capsules are wide and cozy (but the lights next to bed don’t work, my only complaint). But the people working here take the cake!!! The receptionist went above and beyond to make sure we found our next ride/destination. And kept in contact with our driver to check up if/when we made it/made sure we had enough cash to get there. Honestly, have not seen that much effort put in willingly to help guests. :) thank you so much, art hostel!!!
I recommend that everyone, including children from 10 years old with grandparents, visit it with the whole family. In addition to Kazakh instruments, there are other instruments of other peoples of the world. If you are interested in music, be sure to visit this Museum.
I try to keep this list as up-to-date as possible. I last updated it in July 2025. Help me make this page better, for example by letting me know of a street art that should be on the list. Click here to get in touch. Thanks!
