Seeing More Stuff At The State Museum In Almaty

Continuing a meander through the State Museum, more history and curiosities to see. 

Interior of a yurt. You can't call yourself a legit museum in Central Asia without a yurt.

Rural, domestic life. A dog day afternoon by the fields. Musical pleasures with handmade, wood instruments. On the left, a collection of the national instrument, the dombra.

About those fields. They're for cotton and it's woman's work to do the processing, spinning.

Other cultures, groups in Kazakhstan. Jewish religious articles, a pouch for a tallit, prayer shawl, and a set of Tefillin, leather boxes containing prayers. Ceremonial Korean dress.

Big Soviet-Kazakh memorial, tribute, diorama to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War.
