From Trash to Museum: The Second Life of National Heritage

The restoration specialist of the “Saraishyq” museum-reserve, Otarbay Kendir, carried out the restoration of ancient cultural artifacts — a cradle and a dombra — that had been discarded at a landfill in Atyrau city.

The restored items will be included in the ethnographic collection of the museum-reserve.

As a result of this noble work, our national heritage has been preserved from extinction and will continue its “second life” in the museum exhibitions.
