The concept of MUZELE encompasses not only the physical space of the museum but also its invisible aspects — the labor, stories of people, architectural changes, and cultural missions. According to museum representatives, it is more than just a building or a collection; it is a complex intertwining of human destinies and cultural achievements.
For nearly a century, the KNMFA has represented a dynamic and multilayered structure that serves not only as a repository of artistic heritage but also as a place for cultural exchange, learning, and reflection.
Visitors will be able to see the museum's memory through historical photographs, video recordings, posters, archival documents, and letters that tell about key events in the museum's history and help recreate the atmosphere of times gone by.
The exhibition was created with the participation of museum staff, as well as friends of the museum, artists, and composers who developed multimedia installations reflecting their perceptions and interpretations of museum stories. This fruitful collaboration among the museum, artistic, and musical communities.
The exhibition was developed with the involvement of: Alima Tokmergenova and Meerim Emil kyzy.
Among the artists: Altynai Kudaybergenova, Sergey Khegai, Adel Ismailkhanova, Oksana Kapishnikova, and Meerim Emil kyzy.
The musical works for the exhibition were created by: Munara Korpotaeva and Roland Seyitbekov.
