In the very heart of Astana, among modern buildings and busy streets, stands a cozy wooden house from the early 20th century — the State Museum named after Saken Seifullin. It is not just a museum but a place where time seems to stand still. Here you can feel the spirit of old Akmolа and learn about a man who became a symbol of Kazakh intellectual life and one of the founders of 20th-century Kazakh literature.

The museum’s collection includes over 6,000 unique exhibits — from Seifullin’s personal belongings and manuscripts to rare photographs and documents telling the story of his life and legacy as a writer, poet, and statesman. Each room breathes history: the writing desk, antique piano, books, clothing, and photographs recreate the atmosphere of the time.

The museum is housed in a preserved architectural monument of the early 20th century. It regularly hosts literary evenings, themed tours, meetings with writers, and interactive programs that make each visit memorable.

Tip: Take a guided tour — the museum guides bring Seifullin’s life to life with stories that show his enduring contribution to Kazakh culture.
