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!
The place to be to enjoy and savor fine arts.
