The Central State Museum of Kazakhstan[1] is the largest museum in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and one of the largest museums in Central Asia.[2]
The A. Kasteyev State Museum of Arts is the largest art museum in Kazakhstan, located in Almaty.[3]
The museum opened on 16 September 1976, based on the collections of the Shevchenko Kazakh State Gallery (established in 1935) and the Republic Museum of Decorative and Applied Art (established in 1970).[4] In 1984, the museum was renamed to honour the Kazakh artist Abylkhan Kasteyev (1904–1973).
The museum has a collection of over 23,000 works, including historic and contemporary Kazakhstan art, works from the Soviet era (1920s–1990s), Russian artworks (17th to early 20th century), Western European art (16th–20th centuries), and art from East Asia (China, India, Japan, and Korea).[4]
