Museum of
Archeology and Ethnography

The museum has its own history. On March 26, 1981, an archaeological and ethnographic exhibition with an area of 190 sq.m. was opened for the first time at the Karaganda State University.

In 1985, a new scientific exposition was created, built by the efforts of employees of the laboratory of archaeological research: I.V. Rudkovsky, V.G. Loman, V.A. Novozhenov, A.Yu. Chindin, under the overall authority of Doctor of History V.V. Evdokimov. The ethnographic section of the museum was designed by Kh.A. Bekbalakova and E.R. Usmanova. The materials on display in the museum were formed as a result of the archaeological and ethnographic practice of students of the Faculty of History. The museum has become the pride of the university, demonstrating the achievements of ancient cultures, economy and life of the Kazakh people.

The exposition of the museum reflects the history of ancient tribes and the latest achievements of archeology, combines ancient artifacts and objects of material culture of the Kazakh people.

The exposition contains 20 showcases representing all epochs of human history, from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages, as well as the economy and life of the Kazakh people, an installation of rock carvings (petroglyphs) in life size, a reconstruction of a Bronze Age burial, ancient Turkic stone statues, an old yurt is exhibited.

To increase student youth awareness of Central Kazakhstan historical and cultural heritage and to popularize it both domestically and internationally, we created five museum-based educational podcasts, each of which deals with the art-historical findings of the researchers from the Museum of Archeology and Ethnography of Buketov Karaganda University, and uploaded them to such international platforms as Google Podcasts, Stitcher, and Anchor by Spotify. The podcasts were created within the framework of the internal grant funding project «Regional Historical and Geographical Features and Non-Formal Educational Space: a Field of Interaction».
