Saken Seifullin Museum - was opened on February 21, 1988 in the city of Tselinograd (now Astana) as part of the regional museum of local lore. There is a monument to the poet next to the museum. Despite the fact that the museum is considered a historical architectural monument, the appearance of the museum is similar to an ensemble of modern new buildings. In the Seifullin Museum, a woven tapestry carpet dedicated to the victims of Soviet repression hung on the wall opposite the entrance door of the hall. In the center of the unique canvas, which occupies the entire wall, there is a plaster relief image of Saken Seifulin, at the foot - a bouquet of flowers. In the right wing at the entrance, the photo exhibition "Saken and Akmola" is intertwined with the current life of Astana, creating the illusion of tomorrow's future of the capital.
