This ethnographic museum in Shymkent is unique, because its building and the entire exposition were created by only one person - Kendebay Karabdalov. Kendebay Karabdalov recreated more than 10 musical instruments, pottery, housewares, that are the exact copies of the ancient ones. Part of the museum is located underground, being a kind of hilvet - an underground mosque. This place inspires for meditation, and spiritual enlightment. Here you can hear the sound of any musical instrument displayed. One can also visit a pottery workshop.
