On September 20, 2025, students of group 404, majoring in Law, along with their curator-advisor, Ondashuly Ernur, visited the Almaty Museum of Arts — House of Contemporary Art as part of SDG-4 "Quality Education."
Here is some general information about the museum:
The main goal of the museum is to study, preserve, and showcase contemporary art of Central Asia, while also establishing connections with global art movements.
Opening date: September 12, 2025
Location: Kazakhstan, Almaty, at the intersection of Al-Farabi and Nazarbayev Avenues
Architecture and Design:
The building was designed by the British architectural firm Chapman Taylor.
The interior area is approximately 9,400–10,000 m². The architecture consists of two “L”-shaped structures:
-
One is clad in aluminum, representing urban development.
-
The other is faced with limestone as a tribute to the mountain ranges of the Tien Shan.
A naturally lit hall called Art Street enhances the connection between people, art, and architecture.
Overall, it was a very impressive and inspiring place!
