Phase II of the project, called “Museums Online” started in May 2011 and is dedicated to 20 years of independence of Kazakhstan, as a dynamic and fast growing sovereign state.

This year we continue the work, started last year, to translate museum materials and labels, and have engaged new museums for the development and production of English language visitor’s guidebooks and brochures, based on text and photo-materials provided by museum curators. The 12 additional museums are:

1. “Issyk” State Museum and National Park, Issyk town, Almaty region.
2. “Tamgaly” State Historical-Cultural Museum and National Park, Almaty region.
3. Temirtau Museum of History and Local Lore, Temirtau city.
4. “Ulytau” National Historical-Cultural Museum and National Park, Ulytau town.
5. Lissakovsk Historical-Cultural Museum, Lissakovsk town.
6. Museum of Fine Arts named after the Nevzorov Family, Semei city.
7. East-Kazakhstan Regional Architectural-Ethnographic Reserve, Ust-Kamenogorsk.
8. North-Kazakhstan Regional Museum of History and Local Lore, Petropavlovsk.
9. “Azret-Sultan” State Historical -Cultural Museum and National Park, Turkestan.
10. The Museum of Contemporary Art, Astana.
11. KarLAG Museum-Memorial Complex of Victims of Political Repressions, Karaganda

To make information about Kazakhstan’s cultural and historical heritage available, and easily accessible, to English speakers all around the world, the project developed a tri-lingual web-site where all museums of Kazakhstan will be brought together.
