On November 12, 2025, the Botai State Historical and Cultural Museum-Reserve, as part of an initiative to promote cultural inclusion, organized a traveling exhibition and museum event at the Ayyrtau Center for Social Services under the title “Botai: At the Origins of Steppe Civilization.”

Visitors enjoyed an engaging program that included interactive workshops, short videos, and an educational lecture introducing the fascinating Botai culture. A documentary about Botai and a presentation on the museification of archaeological heritage offered deeper insights into this ancient civilization.

The highlight of the event was a hands-on workshop where participants created their own stone discs, experiencing firsthand the craft traditions of ancient artisans
