Kunaev, he lived and worked here. The apartment where Dinmuhamed lived for more than a quarter of a century has been preserved in its original form so that visitors can see the environment in which the man who left a significant mark on history lived and worked.

The museum exposition talks about Kunaev's life path – from his childhood and studies to his career rise and leadership of the republic. Special attention is paid to the period when he served as the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Kazakhstan, and the republic achieved great success in industry, energy, science, culture and education. The exhibition features documents, letters, awards, photographs, as well as materials reflecting his personal qualities.: modesty, humanity and dedication. The library attracts special attention – more than 5,000 books in different languages, including rare editions on the history of the steppes. His famous watch and three stars of the Hero of Socialist Labor are also kept here – not as an ostentatious luxury, but as evidence of labor. The museum building has a special atmosphere: it is not just an exhibition space, but a living memory of a man whose name is associated with an entire epoch. There are guided tours, meetings, and scientific conferences dedicated to the history of Kazakhstan and the legacy of D. A. Kunaev. The museum also actively works as an educational platform, helping the younger generation to better understand the history of the country and the role of the individual in it.
Today, the Kunayev museum and memorial apartment are a place where not only tourists come, but also residents of Almaty, especially the younger generation, to pay tribute to the man whom many called the "people's leader" during his lifetime. This quiet, respectful space helps to feel the breath of time and see Kazakhstan through the eyes of one of its main builders.
