THE MUSEUM COLLECTION HAS BEEN ENRICHED WITH RETRO EXHIBITS

Today is a remarkable day for our museum! Veteran Zhanuzak Gizatov officially donated his unique personal collection to the museum fund — a collection he carefully preserved for many years. These exhibits are authentic witnesses to the history of photography and photo printing technologies used in Kazakhstan before the 1990s. Among them are:

• Legendary retro equipment: photo and video cameras including “Zenit TTL” (1980), “Yoma M-800”, “Olympus VR-340”, as well as a “Sony” video camera;

• Photography laboratory equipment: photographic films, “Sverdlovsk-6” exposure meter, developing tank, “UPA-510” enlarger, photo paper, special containers, and tools for developing photographs;

• Nostalgic household items: a universal electric current meter from the 1980s, powerful lamps, a diamond glass cutter, a souvenir pistol-knife, a Japanese children’s television “Sonia”, and an Italian fountain pen “Parker”.

????️ Each exhibit represents valuable heritage that preserves the spirit and culture of the past century and carries great educational significance for future generations. We express our sincere gratitude to Zhanuzak aga for his invaluable contribution to museum work and the preservation of historical heritage! 

✨ In the near future, these items will be displayed at a special exhibition and made available to museum visitors. We invite everyone to join us on an exciting journey into the world of retro!
