Make sure you are completey clear with your museum name and you don't leave anything out. So goes the military museum in Astana.
Exterior view of the museum. Don't worry, there is plenty of room for you to park your tank. Arrive in style.
Oh, you came by fighter jet? Good for you, avoid the road traffic. Still, plenty of parking. Military review parade mural, all meta with the included video board showing the passing car.
One of the museum highlights is this diorama, depicting the signing on May 7, 1992 of Defender of the Fatherland Day, marking the establishment of the armed forces for newly independent Kazakhstan. Never has a leader about to sign something seemed so action packed.
Most of the galleries are filled with the usual mix of equipment, uniforms and photographs. Joining the space race.
The main lobby atrium has an impressive, triumphal sculpture. Give a general a map and a Village People-like gaggle of men in various uniforms and he can take over the world. Or play a disco.
