Kazakhstan – Kazakhstan Railways Museum
The Kazakhstan Railway network stretches over the immensity of the country and even beyond as it crosses the Russian Federation
It definitely took a lot of time and all the resilience of the brave kazakh people to build and expand a railway network in the harsh conditions of the steppe (from 10 to 14 thousand of kilometres between 1958 and 1999 for instance)
There are uncountable routes from one end of the Eurasian continent to the other, but almost all of them run through the immense Kazakh steppes
The great industrialisation projects of the soviet era were decisive in the development of the Kazakhstan railway infrastructure
The museum also offers glimpses into the tradition and identity of Kazakhstan. A beautiful artistic interpretation of the railway line running through the Steppe
A glimpse in the traditional Kazakh life. The “Aul”, a nomadic community of people belonging to the same clan or related through marriage. As this painting shows, yurts as a symbol of nomadism coexist with sedentary dwellings
