Exhibitions in Shymkent: museums and city shows

The regional history museum, themed exhibitions and craft fairs — what to see in Shymkent.

The anchor is the regional museum of history and local lore: a collection covering the south of Kazakhstan plus touring themed exhibitions. Around it work the exhibition halls attached to the city’s cultural centres.

The exhibition layer here is thinner than in Almaty and rests on short runs — two or three weeks, usually without an extension. Craft and applied-art fairs are mostly tied to the holidays.

Key venues

  • Regional Museum of History and Local Lore

Nothing on sale yet

Nothing in Exhibitions is on sale in Shymkent at the moment. We list only events with open sales, so this section is empty rather than padded with last year's posters.

A new event appears here the hour its organiser opens the sale.
