“THE ERA OF ABAI: DOCUMENTS AND MEMOIRS”
On August 10, in celebration of Abai Day, the Abai State Museum-Reserve “Zhidebai-Borili” presented an exhibition offering visitors a new perspective on the legacy of the great thinker.
The exhibition, entitled “The Era of Abai: Documents and Memoirs”, featured original documents and historical artefacts preserved in the museum’s rare collections. Among the exhibits were a letter from Kunanbai Oskенbaiuly to Khaliolla, a letter from Abai to his son Magauiya, Abai’s letter to the Senate, the “Karamola Regulations”, memoirs by K. Zhanataiuly, T. Abaiuly, A. Shakarimuly, T. Kobdikov and N. Aldazharov, as well as other artefacts associated with the poet.
These historical treasures represent a unique part of the nation’s spiritual heritage, providing valuable evidence of the great poet’s life and work, his public activities, and the historical context of the era in which Abai lived.
The exhibition attracted Abai scholars, young researchers, representatives of the intellectual community, students, as well as residents and visitors of Semey.
