? The museum-reserve "Botai" in the State catalog "E-museum"!
As part of the seminar organized by the National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Makpal Serikbekkyzy Almaganbetova, curator of the funds of the Botai Museum Reserve, participates in the work on filling the E-museum web portal.
The E-museum is a unified state catalog of museum collections in Kazakhstan, which collects information about thousands of exhibits.
The participants of the seminar learn how to add exhibits to an electronic database and fill out information efficiently in three languages — Kazakh, Russian and English.
This step will make it possible to present the unique heritage of the Botai culture internationally and to popularize our history more widely.

Meeting with Asset Syzdykov
A meeting was held at the Botai Museum-Reserve with Asset Syzdykov, a children’s and youth prose writer, journalist, and author. During the discussion, the prospects and preparation of a new book dedicated to the Botai culture were addressed. As a sign of respect and cooperation, the author donated his publication to the museum, where it will take a worthy place in the collections.
Such meetings emphasize the importance of public educational activity, literature, and museum work. Journalism records current events, literature reveals their depth, and museums ensure the preservation and transmission of these values to future generations. It is through this unity that a holistic understanding of historical and cultural heritage is formed.
