On October 21, 2025, first-year law students of group 115, along with their professor from the Department of Theory and History of State and Law, Constitutional and Administrative Law, Doctor of Law D.M. Baymakhanova, visited the House-Museum of Akhmet Baitursynov as part of SDG 4 «Quality Education».
As the students crossed the threshold of the museum, they were immediately enveloped by the atmosphere of the past: the wooden floors creaked slightly underfoot, and the soft light from the lamps reflected off the antique furniture, creating a warm, almost homey feeling. The exhibit unveiled the life and work of the outstanding Kazakh enlightener, public figure, and reformer Akhmet Baitursynov. On the shelves and walls, personal items, documents, manuscripts, photographs, and household items from his family were carefully arranged - each exhibit seemed to quietly tell its own story, making visible Baitursynov’s contribution to the development of Kazakh literacy, science, and education.
The tour guide spoke about the importance of preserving historical memory and cultural heritage, emphasizing Akhmet Baitursynov’s role in shaping Kazakh public thought. The students attentively examined the rooms of the house: the dining room, with its austere yet cozy atmosphere; the study, where bookshelves stretched with books and documents; and the children’s room, filled with archival materials, antique furniture, textiles, and portraits. Special attention was drawn to the hall dedicated to the repressions - the somber space made visitors reflect on the hardships faced by figures of that time and the price they paid for their ideas.
Throughout the tour, students actively engaged with the exhibits, asked questions, took notes, and discussed the importance of preserving cultural heritage for future generations. The visit to the museum not only deepened their knowledge of Akhmet Baitursynov’s personality but also allowed them to briefly step into the atmosphere of the early 20th century, feeling the breath of history that still lingers in these walls.
